What is HF Stats?
HF Stats is a program created by the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) that seeks to fill the gap in data and statistical analysis on the depth and breadth of heart failure and its impact on the health systems in the U.S. To accomplish this goal, HFSA organizes a group of accomplished industry leaders to research and analyze key data, turning it into an annual report published in the Journal of Cardiac Failure (JCF) and a collection of downloadable graphics, PowerPoint slides, fact sheets, and more featuring key facts and figures essential for understanding, managing and preventing heart failure.
HF Stats includes:
- An annual HF Stats report, published in JCF. The report will be focused on a different topic and key statistic each year. The initial publication was released in September 2023
- HFStats.org. The microsite provides a platform to easily access the reports, resources, and data curated by the report authors, as well as a searchable database housing downloadable data and statistics, with references built into the graphics and other materials. Researchers, clinicians, members of the press, and other HFSA members can use the database to download key facts and figures for use in publications, research, presentations, and social media.

Accessing the annual HF Stats Report
After the initial launch of a new HF Stats annual report, the report is available to the public in an open access format on the JCF website for 90 days. After that, it will only be accessible to JCF subscribers. HFSA membership comes with a complimentary subscription to JCF.
Accessing Data and Figures on HFStats.org
The ability to download graphics and the full slide deck on HFStats.org is an exclusive benefit for HFSA members. Members of the press may gain access by contacting HFSA staff.
Fact sheets and infographics are always free and available to the public and those without a membership. Make sure your HFSA membership is up-to-date so you have instant access when the stats are available on HFStats.org.
