the epidemiology of HF appears to be changing&#46; A recent systematic review reported that its prevalence among individuals aged &#8805;60 years is 11&#46;8&#37;&#44; which has remained fairly stable in the last decade&#44; and that HF with preserved ejection fraction &#40;HFpEF&#41; is more common than HF with reduced ejection fraction &#40;HFrEF&#41; &#40;4&#46;9&#37; and 3&#46;3&#37;&#44; respectively&#41;&#44; the prevalence of the former increasing and that of the latter apparently decreasing in the 21st century&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite advances in the last 30 years in new pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies that can effectively treat HFrEF&#44; HF patients are at high risk of early rehospitalization and death after a first admission&#44; especially in the first 30-60 days after discharge&#46; Around a quarter of HF patients aged &#62;65 will be readmitted within 30 days and a half within six months of discharge&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#8211;7</span></a> HF has a drastic effect on survival and the quality of life of patients and caregivers and on the health budgets of developed countries&#46; It is estimated that costs will rise two and a half times by 2030&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> and hospitalizations account for 60-80&#37; of expenditure on HF&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However&#44; it is acknowledged that most readmissions could be avoided through improvements in hospital care&#44;

under the scope of a program to reduce readmissions in American hospitals&#44; excessive readmission rates have been subject to financial penalties since 2010&#46; Other countries have opted to reward institutions with better indicators&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">HF treatment should also be a priority of the Portuguese national health system&#44;

the strategy should be based on ongoing clinical research&#44; multicenter national registries and real-life data&#44; which are essential to establishing evidence-based quality indicators and standards that can measure improvements in morbidity and mortality among HF patients&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The study by Marques et al&#46; in this issue of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Journal</span> is part of this effort&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0180"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> The authors analyze a population of consecutive patients hospitalized in the internal medicine department of a tertiary teaching hospital that is planning to implement an HF clinic based on a multidisciplinary approach to improving the care provided to HF patients&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">HF clinics based on integrated management of the syndrome by multidisciplinary teams have been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality and are a class IA recommendation in the European Society of Cardiology guidelines on the treatment of acute and chronic HF &#40;ESC&#41;&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a></p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Aware that there is no single one-size-fits-all model&#44;

The patients admitted to the internal medicine department were elderly &#40;mean age 79 years&#41;&#44; and the majority were women &#40;62&#46;5&#37;&#41;&#44; with multiple comorbidities &#40;not all of which were assessed in the study&#41;&#44; and mainly had HFpEF &#40;70&#46;5&#37;&#41;&#46; The subjects were thus different from those included in clinical trials and registries from cardiology departments and HF units in Portugal and other European countries&#44; who are generally younger&#44; mainly male and with HFrEF&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15&#44;16</span></a> The characteristics of the study population were thus more in line with those reported by many other studies&#44; in which older HF patients with multiple comorbidities and preserved ejection fraction&#44; are more often admitted to internal medicine departments&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A third of the patients died or were rehospitalized within a year&#44; evidence that the long-term prognosis of HFpEF is as poor as that of HFrEF&#44; and belying the myth that the former has a better prognosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;18</span></a> In-hospital mortality &#40;7&#46;9&#37;&#41; was as high for HFpEF as for HFrEF&#44; as was the one-year readmission rate &#40;34&#46;3&#37;&#41;&#44; which is also higher than that reported in the ESC Heart Failure Long-term Registry&#44; suggesting there is room for improvement&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Reassessment following discharge in specialist consultations &#40;only available for 62&#37; of patients over a period of one year&#41; was late&#44; well after the two weeks recommended in international guidelines&#46; There is no mention of assessment in primary care&#44; which is also recommended within a week of discharge in the ESC guidelines&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Even though hospitalization is an undesirable event and represents a worsening of the clinical course of HF&#44; it does offer a unique opportunity to reassess the patient and optimize therapy&#44; but this is only the first step&#46; The guidelines recommend referral of these high-risk patients to an integrated management program&#44; but only 26 countries in Europe have such programs in more than 30&#37; of their hospitals&#44; and even when they do exist&#44; they are not always properly used&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14&#44;20</span></a> Various levels of care&#44; especially primary care&#44; need to be included in the multidisciplinary management of these patients&#44; a measure that has yet to be fully implemented in Europe&#44; including Portugal&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is tempting to assume that differences in mortality and rehospitalization rates between different European countries&#44; which are lower in Northern Europe and in certain southern European countries like Italy&#44; are related to the level of access to integrated HF management networks and programs that have long been implemented in these countries&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20&#8211;23</span></a></p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The introduction of such programs should be encouraged&#44; and we therefore eagerly await the results of the HF clinic that Marques et al&#46; are proposing to implement in their hospital&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We agree that there is a need for studies and multicenter national registries that include cardiology departments as well as internal medicine&#44; geriatric and emergency departments&#44; in order to characterize the HF pandemic more thoroughly and to implement national HF treatment networks that meet patients&#8217; needs&#46; Organizational efforts will be required at both local and national level&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> The time has come to share experiences and coordinate initiatives to raise awareness&#44;

The patients admitted to the internal medicine department were elderly &#40;mean age 79 years&#41;&#44; and the majority were women &#40;62&#46;5&#37;&#41;&#44; with multiple comorbidities &#40;not all of which were assessed in the study&#41;&#44; and mainly had HFpEF &#40;70&#46;5&#37;&#41;&#46; The subjects were thus different from those included in clinical trials and registries from cardiology departments and HF units in Portugal and other European countries&#44; who are generally younger&#44; mainly male and with HFrEF&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15&#44;16</span></a> The characteristics of the study population were thus more in line with those reported by many other studies&#44;

evidence that the long-term prognosis of HFpEF is as poor as that of HFrEF&#44; and belying the myth that the former has a better prognosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;18</span></a> In-hospital mortality &#40;7&#46;9&#37;&#41;

it does offer a unique opportunity to reassess the patient and optimize therapy&#44; but this is only the first step&#46; The guidelines recommend referral of these high-risk patients to an integrated management program&#44; but only 26 countries in Europe have such programs in more than 30&#37; of their hospitals&#44; and even when they do exist&#44; they are not always properly used&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14&#44;20</span></a> Various levels of care&#44;
