Fluid backs up in the lungs or the legs because of the flow of blood is slowed down. The History of Deborah Support Groups Lung Cancer Atrial Fibrillation ...

Email Us Facts About Heart Failure in Older Adults March 5, 1999 Contact: Kathryn Harben CDC, Division of Media Relations Congestive heart failure is a major chronic disease for older adults, accounting for about 260,000 deaths a year. The majority of the nearly 5 million U.S. patients with heart failure are older than 65 years. In 1995, $3.4 billion was paid by Medicare for heart failure. As the "baby boomers" age during the next 40 years, the number of heart failure patients older than 65 is expected to double. Results of a new study published in the March 7 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine suggest that heart failure survival after 6 years in adults 67 years and older on Medicare is very low and may be worse than the prognosis for most types of cancer. In a review of Medicare records from 1986 through 1992, less than 25% of women and 20% of men survived 6 years after being discharged from hospital with congestive heart failure. One third died within a year.

Lymphedema causes swelling of the affected extremity; however, not all swollen extremities are caused by lymphedema. In congestive heart failure the heart does not work as well as it should. Think of the heart as a pump with an inlet and an outlet. When a pump does not work as well as it should, the amount of fluid pumped out by the pump is decreased. In addition to this, the amount of fluid that the pump is trying to remove remains high. Congestive heart failure is very similar. In congestive heart failure, the amount of blood pumped out by the heart is less than normal, decreasing the total amount of oxygen available to the tissues. Patients with congestive heart failure become easily fatigued because the heart cannot pump enough blood to satisfy the oxygen requirements during periods of exercise. Since the output from the heart is low, the input into the heart from the veins is also diminished and blood builds up behind the heart much like water builds up behind a dam.

The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Researchers: Special pacemakers may extend lives Story Tools CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) Special pacemakers designed to correct a defect that affects close to 2 million heart failure patients in the United States can also prolong their lives, an analysis found. While such pacemakers have been shown to improve quality of life and exercise capacity, their effects on survival had been unclear. "I was surprised by the magnitude" of the effects, said lead author Dr. David Bradley, a Johns Hopkins Hospital cardiologist. Industry-funded studies have shown that the special devices improve the heart's pumping action in a process called cardiac resynchronization. Some studies had hinted that they might also extend lives but lacked the statistical power to make that link. By pooling the results of four recent studies involving 1,634 patients, the researchers found that the devices reduced the death rate from heart failure by 51 percent among heart failure patients. Of these, 1.7 percent died within three to six months of getting the special pacemakers, compared with 3.5 percent of patients who got similar pacemakers but had the special feature inactivated. The activated devices also were linked to a 29 percent reduction in hospitalization for complications related to heart failure.
