Background: Heart failure (HF) is a global public health issue. Although numerous studies have been conducted in various regions, such as Europe and the United States, there is limited information about the characteristics of this disease in Asian regions, particularly in Iran.
Methods: This study is retrospective descriptive-analytical research. Patients over 16 years old who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of HF at the Shahid Madani Cardiovascular Center, Tabriz, Iran, from April 2021 to August 2022 were selected for the study. The exclusion criteria included patients with preserved systolic function. The variables studied included demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and the type of HF (ischemic or non-ischemic), which were collected through a researcher-designed questionnaire.
Findings: Of the 519 patients studied, 66.9% were male and 33.1% were female. The mean age of the patients was 64.08 ± 13.6 years. The most common risk factors included hypertension (57%), coronary artery disease (CAD) (52%), and diabetes mellitus (DM) (36.2%). The most common clinical symptoms were shortness of breath (88%), orthopnea (36.1%), and gastrointestinal symptoms (20%). The mortality rate of the patients was 1.54%.
Conclusion: This study indicates that HF patients in Iran are younger on average than those in Western countries, with non-ischemic causes being more prevalent. These differences may be due to cultural, racial, and lifestyle-related risk factors in Iran. The significance of collecting this data lies in identifying high-risk groups and planning optimal treatment strategies.
