چکیده

La insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) es sin duda uno de los problemas médicos, y no solo cardiológicos, más relevantes a los que nos enfrentamos en la actualidad, sobre todo debido al aumento de la esperanza de vida de la población y el mejor tratamiento de los procesos cardiovasculares agudos. Debido a ello, la prevalencia de la IC va en aumento; en España alcanza tasas del 4-7%, y es la principal causa de ingresos médicos de la población de edad más avanzada, que en gran medida motivan utilización de recursos y gasto sanitario. A pesar de la creencia generalizada de que es una situación simple y fácil de tratar, se trata de un sı́ndrome muy complejo, tanto en su diagnóstico como en su tratamiento, y que, a pesar del avance espectacular conseguido en su tratamiento en los últimos años, reflejado en las guı́as de práctica clı́nica, es una causa importante de ingresos hospitalarios, produce un marcado deterioro de la calidad de vida de los pacientes y presenta una elevada mortalidad. Si a la complejidad de su manejo se añaden factores tales como las caracterı́sticas actuales de los pacientes con IC de la vida real, cada vez de más edad, más frágiles y con mayor prevalencia de comorbilidades, es fácil comprender que la IC origine una muy elevada demanda asistencial, que afecta a todos los ámbitos y profesionales sanitarios, y no solo al cardiológico. Posiblemente, todos estos factores explican que una adecuada atención por especialistas, circunscrita exclusivamente al medio hospitalario, no soluciona el problema y que es necesaria una aproximación más integral e integrada en forma de procesos asistenciales organizados en torno a unidades y programas interdisciplinarios de IC. Este proceder está avalado por la evidencia cientı́fica, que otorga a esta organización asistencial un beneficio pronóstico, como ya se reconoce en la reciente guı́a de IC de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiologı́a publicada en 2016, en la que la organización de la atención a la IC en grupos multidisciplinarios alcanza una recomendación de clase I A.
