ABSTRACT
Heart failure, including chronic heart failure (CHF) is an inevitable progressive disease worldwide. In the developed countries the amount of patient with such disease is approximately 2% of total adult population. Besides the prevalence is increased from year to year, owing also to population ageing (increasing part of the elder people in total population). The article presents and analyzes data of morbidity and prevalence of heart failure (CHF) in patients including elderly patients in Russian Federation and globally. This review study aims to systematize the available modern scientific information about prevalence of heart failure (CHF) and evaluate requirements of using biotechnical and medical systems of mechanically circulatory support - LVAD in patients with CHF and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
