Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome of poor prognosis, characterized by a set of signs and symptoms that take place as a result of insufficient cardiac output (CO) by cardiovascular and neurohormonal compensating mechanisms. The objectives of this investigation involved to establish the prevalence of heart failure, identify the primary disease and finally relate both, clinical criteria and echocardiographic results (FELV) with the classification of heart failure according to the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure and according to Framingham criteria, respectively. The study was piloted in an average of 6 months and included 45 patients who were diagnosed with heart failure who also go through an echocardiographic study.

The arterial hypertension was the predisposing in a large percentage with about 22.2% for female gender and in men were a binomial phenomenon, hypertension and diabetes mellitus in 8.9%. Cardiovascular diseases combined with pulmonary, endocrine and rheumatic diseases showed cumulative frequencies Σn ≤ 1 (2.2%) with a 24.4% for females and 28.9% for males. Finally, most patients have preserved fraction ejection with a percentage of 66.7% and according to Framingham criteria most of them had two major and minor clinical criteria, regardless of the etiological factors.
