A recent decline in heart failure-related deaths in the United States has reversed, and those types of deaths are now climbing nationwide, especially among adults ages 35 to 64.
The trend, which also revealed some racial disparities, was found in a research paper published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology on Monday. The paper points to an increase in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes as possibly driving a parallel rise in heart failure deaths.
Along with a rise in obesity and other risk factors, Adler pointed to a rise in illicit drug use as a possible link with rising heart failure deaths. Certain drugs, such as methamphetamines, can cause heart failure.Overall,"I look at this as a call to arms," Adler said."It's inspiring in that we still have a lot of work to do to treat the heart failure epidemic."
