拒绝心力衰竭打造强健心脏之路

佛蒙特州伯灵顿弗莱彻艾伦医疗中心(Fletcher Allen Health Care)心脏康复医务主任菲利普·埃兹(Philip Ades)说：“它囊括了行动最不便的心脏病患者，为他们提供了提高身体机能和改善生活质量的机会。在20年前我们会让他们在扶手椅中静坐，现在我们能让你恢复一部分正常生活。”

Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart can't pump a sufficient supply of blood to deliver oxygen to other organs in the body. It results in shortness of breath, fatigue and edema, a buildup of fluids in the lungs and extremities such as the ankles. Some 6.5 million Americans are living with heart failure. An additional 650,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, according to the American Heart Association, though Medicare data suggest the number is higher. Heart failure is the most common reason Medicare beneficiaries end up in the hospital. Though Medicare has long covered cardiac rehab for patients recovering from a heart attack or heart surgery, the burgeoning population of heart-failure patients has largely been left out.

心力衰竭是一种慢性疾病，病因是心脏无法泵出足够的血液为其他身体器官提供氧气。它会引发呼吸短促、疲劳和水肿（即液体积聚在肺部和脚踝等手足部位）等症状。美国约有650万人患有心力衰竭。美国心脏协会(American Heart Association，简称“AHA”)的数据显示，每年还有65万人被新诊断出患上该疾病。不过“医疗保险计划”的数据显示，新患者的数目比这个数字更高。心力衰竭是“医疗保险计划”受益者住院最常见的原因。尽管“医疗保险计划”早就为因心脏病发作或心脏病手术而实施心脏康复的患者偿付费用，但队伍不断壮大的心力衰竭患者中的多数人都被排除在外。
