BackgroundSince heart failure (HF) often occurs in subjects >70y old and the population of Western countries is getting older, the incidence of HF is expected to dramatically increase in the future. However, limited information is available on HF in the extreme elderly.MethodsWe retrospectively studied patients >90y old patients admitted to our hospital for acute HF between 2007 and March 2010. Patients with incomplete clinical records were excluded. Main foci were: epidemiological data, initial presentation, results of routine biological and imaging tests and clinical outcome.Results56 patients (mean age 94 [range 91–97], 60% female) were included. Cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension (75%), hypercholesterolemia (16%) and diabetes...
