Heart failure is a condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. Heart failure contributes to about 300,000 U.S. deaths each year.
Toward our goal of providing the best possible care for heart failure patients, we follow an established heart failure treatment protocol that has been shown to improve patient outcomes. Learn more about heart failure treatment at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
The table below includes:
- 30-day adjusted heart failure mortality rate – This measures deaths from heart failure within 30 days of a hospital admission.
- 30-day adjusted heart failure readmission rate – This measures readmission to the hospital within 30 days after discharge for patients with heart failure.
