This map is intended to demonstrate the significant impact that heart failure has on public health and the NHS at both a national and local level. The map has been designed to be used by all those involved in the commissioning and delivery of heart failure services to support understanding of how the condition affects their locality and to aid the identification of potential improvement areas.

This map has been produced as part of a programme funded by Novartis, with support from M&F Health Communications, in line with the ABPI code of practice.
