Heart failure is a growing public health problem and is now the most common cause of hospitalizations in the United States among patients 65 years and older. The increasing prevalence of heart failure in the population is most likely secondary to the aging of the population, increased risk factors, better outcomes for acute coronary syndrome survivors, and a reduction in mortality from other chronic conditions. Healthcare providers should be familiar with the pathophysiology, presentation, and treatment of heart failure because of the morbidity, mortality, and projected increased prevalence of the condition. This activity reviews the evaluation, treatment, and management of heart failure and pulmonary edema. This activity also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients with this condition.
