Sammanfattning
The Danish National Quality Project about heart failure has improved care for the patients considerably by insisting on evidence-based
treatment in hospitals and heart failure clinics. Regrettably, according to data there is marked underrepresentation of patients 75-year-old
and older, and especially a lack of women in this age group in the project. This discrimination towards the elderly and especially towards
elderly women could possibly be solved by out-of-hospital-screening for heart failure among these patients.
