3.5 million acute heart failure (AHF)episodes happen in theUS and EU alone; this is
expected to increase furtheras the population ages.
Lined up end to end, the number of ambulances for every AHF patient taken to the hospital in a single year would stretch nearly 21,000 km — almost as long as the Great Wall of China
