💬 Editorial: Global #HeartFailure prevalence has increased substantially, and better prevention of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and rheumatic heart disease may help reduce future burden. ja.ma/4iSkKZJ
JAMA Cardiology web page shows an Editorial: 'A Recipe for Estimating the Global Burden of Heart Failure' by Philip Joseph, MD, & Isabelle Johansson Bartolini, PhD. Published Online: September 30, 2026. DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2026.4084.

Globally, #HeartFailure affected an estimated 56 million people in 2023, with increasing burden largely associated with population growth and aging. ja.ma/4AVWa0G
JAMA Cardiology article, pub. Sep 30, 2026: 'Global Burden of Heart Failure, 1990-2023'. A stacked bar graph shows global HF etiologies by age in 2023. Ischemic heart disease dominates older age groups; congenital heart anomalies are prominent in younger ages.

Among older adults, worsening #Frailty, lower intrinsic capacity, and poorer physical health-related quality of life preceded #CardiovascularDisease events and accelerated in the 5 years before onset. ja.ma/4ryGvQI
Four line graphs show mean trajectories for frailty index, Fried phenotype frailty, modified intrinsic capacity, and physical health-related quality of life. For CVD cases (orange lines) versus controls (blue lines), frailty measures increase, and capacity/quality of life measures decrease more sharply as time approaches the incident CVD event (year 0).
