Congestive heart failureis the most common cause of hospital admission among elderly patients. It is the reason for at least 20 percent of all hospital admissions over the age of 65. The American Heart Association reports that an estimated 5.7 million Americans have heart failure today, with an estimated 10 to 1,000 people just ten years old. According to the CDC, the prevalence of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in the United States was rising from 1980-1995 and hospitalization rate due to heart failure also increased 159 percent over the same period. There is also the biggest financial burden of heart failure; the situation is currently equivalent to 1-2% of US annual health care costs (approximately $ 39 billion). The national impact of this trend on Medicare is expected to be greater as baby boomers begin to turn 65. The largest study of this kind is to determine the influence of DVT on mortality in patients with heart failure patients across the United States. The findings of this study indicate that a decrease in low DVT is associated with an increased mortality in CHF patients. It also revealed that patients who were hospitalized with long-term CHF hospital studies were more likely to have DVT. We noted that patients admitted for 4-7 days were 2.5 times more likely to develop DVT as patients were admitted for less than three days. While those who stayed between 8- 13 days were 4 times more DVT than those admitted for less than 3 days. It also revealed that DVT among patients with CHF is an independent predictor of death. patients hospitalized with CHF for long-term hospital studies may have DVT. The occurrence of DVT in this citizen was also found to be an independent predictor of mortality after controlling for other behavioral variables. We propose that a postponement of a plan for immediate inclusion and physical therapy be established soon in these patients to reduce their hospital stay and the risk of DVT and mortality.
