Heart failure is a complex syndrome that develops when the heart, through a detectable or undetectable abnormality of cardiac function, either fails to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues or is able to do so only with an elevated diastolic filling pressure. Although anyone can experience heart failure, prevalence increases with age; it is most prevalent in patients (≥ 65 years of age) and is often complicated by comorbid factors and other disease processes.
