Since its inception in 2015, the Heart Failure Policy Network has sought to defeat political inertia in heart failure (HF). Winning this battle is more a political challenge than a scientific one. Best practice in HF care is well established, yet routine and tragic gaps persist for even basic components of care, contributing to a high rate of hospitalisations and mortality.
What is at stake is no less than millions of lives and billions of euros in healthcare costs that could be better invested in crisis prevention, rather than recovery. Current trends demonstrate clearly that our healthcare systems must master the prevention and community-based management of major conditions such as HF as a matter of urgency in order to avoid extreme pressures. To achieve this, a whole-system vision for HF will be needed over the long term to ensure that decision-makers set suitably ambitious goals and uphold commitments to invest in proven models of care.
