Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Gender-Specific Prevalence and Trend of Heart Failure in China from 1990 to 2019
Authors' conclusion
Although HF prevalence has steadily decreased over the past two decades, an increasing trend has occurred since 2017, especially for females. The leading cause of HF was hypertensive heart disease.
