| Annotation | This collection of articles illustrates that heart failure is a "medical hydra" - the Hydra being a "malign, mythical, many-headed beast", which is felt to aptly describe the prevalence and treatment of heart failure. One of the eight articles focuses on the "organisation of the care of patients with heart failure" which advocates that it has improved when delivered by specialised units that use a multidisciplinary management approach.
