Conclusions• Heart failure is expanding throughout the world in

association with increase in elderly population.• The largest contributors to the HF are IHD and HHD

irrespective of registries.• Increase of heart transplant donor is an urgent

thema to save refractory HF patients.• HF is a threat of industrialized societies and

cooperation among the ESC, AHA and JCS is a clue to fight with this international threat.

• World-wide registry is necessary to investigate the prognosis of HF in the real world.
