Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive condition, characterized by variable periods of symptomatic stability frequently interrupted by episodes of A worsening condition. These moments of clinical deterioration have been recognized as a distinct phase in the course of HF and indicate a considerably worse prognosis. Preventing readmissions of patients with HF is a growing priority for medical providers, researchers, and healthcare managers. Although evidence-based therapies for treating patients with HF have increased, consistent implementation of these therapies and the development of new strategies to prevent readmissions continue to be areas for continued improvement. In this review, we will discuss some proposals and challenges associated with reducing readmissions due to HF.
