Statistics collected by general practitioners suggest that heart failure is managed at nearly 0.7% of all general practice consultations and around 4% of consultations involving patients aged 45 and over.

Men and women aged 75 and above, are around twice as likely to consult their GP for heart failure than for coronary heart disease or stroke.
