FEATURES OF THE COURSE OF HEART FAILURE IN ELDERLY AND SENILE PATIENTS

Abstract

The etiology, features of the clinical picture and severity of heart failure, the causes of its progression in elderly and senile patients were studied. The quality and effectiveness of outpatient therapy is evaluated. It is shown that patients in this category are characterized by high comorbidity and heart failure has a multifactorial character, which makes it difficult to choose the optimal and safe therapy. The main causes of decompensation are inadequate therapy, deviation of drug doses and lack of adherence of patients to treatment.
