The first results of advanced medical care for chronic heart failure in different regions of the Russian Federation

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is an urgent public health problem. Despite the introduction of modern treatment methods, we can emphasize high morbidity, mortality and frequent repeated hospitalizations in patients with heart failure. Significant causes of repeated hospitalizations for CHF are insufficient continuity in healthcare system and low adherence to outpatient treatment. A rational and low-cost way to solve these problems are interacting CHF centers at all levels of health care including CHF rooms in each polyclinic and joint outpatient management by doctors and nurse practitioners. The authors present the results of advanced medical care for chronic heart failure in different regions of the Russian Federation for the period 2020—2022. In the first part, they present and analyze data from the CHF registers of the Tula, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, Kemerovo and Perm regions taking into account regional characteristics and opportunities.
