As the population ages,conditions like heart failure (HF),atrial fibrillation (AF)and cognitive impairment (CI) demon-strate higher prevalence.HF is a very common clin-ical syndrome affecting many people worldwide.It is estimated that in the developed countries approx-imately 1％-2％ of the adult population suffers from HF,whereas in adults ＞ 70 years old the incidence rises to ≥ 10％.[1] Additionally,it has been reported that the lifetime risk for developing HF for men and women at the age of 55 is 33％ and 28％,respect-ively.HF seems to be the cause of high mortality and morbidity rates globally,[2] impaired quality of life,[3] emergency department admissions and hos-pitalizations,[4] adding a major burden to the health-care system.It is also associated with a very heavy burden to the economy of the states,with an estim-ated annual cost of approximately 99 billion euro.
