The Veterans Affairs ’ Dashboard Confessional: Vindication of the VA HF Dashboard

Recent reports on heart failure (HF) epidemiology and outcomes highlight that approximately 6.7 million Americans have HF. The lifetime risk of HF for adults in the United States is 24%, with increasing incidence and burden of HF risk factors, such as hypertension, obesity, and health inequities.[1] HF is associated with substantial economic burden, and health care related expenditure for the disease is increasing at a more rapid pace compared to other chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cancer.
