Patients´ experiences of living at home with heart failure (English)
Abstract [en]
In Sweden it is estimated that approximately 150 000 - 250 000 people suffer from heart failure. A better standard of living has made it possible for people to live longer with their health intact. Older age is associated with an increased risk of getting diagnosed with heart failure. It is estimated that some 30 000 people are diagnosed with heart failure each year
