    Cvetinović, Nataša ; Lončar, Goran, zdravnik ; Farkaš-Lainščak, Jerneja
    Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing public health problem and the leading cause of mor- bidity, mortality, and hospitalization in populations > 65 years. The elderly HF patients have an increased ... prevalence of HF with preserved ejection fraction and comorbidities, may prese nt with atypical symptoms and signs, have a higher risk for adverse drug reac- tions, and worse prognosis as compared with younger patients. Moreover, there is a lack of evidence-based therapies for this population because they are un- derrepresented in the clinical trials. The elderly are less likely to be evaluate dbyacardiologistandto be treated in accordance with recommendations of the current HF guidelines. Although the treatment is improving, it is still suboptimal; therefore, HF in elderly patients requires mob ilization of public health services and improvement of treatment strategies.
