Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is a major public issue taking an epidemic dimension globally. Its incidence is continuing to rise because of a growing and aging population. We held a cross-sectional retrospective studyin the cardiology department of Mohamed V military teaching hospital of Rabat in morocco fromSeptember 2019 toSeptember 2021, including 104 patients admitted with HF. The mean age was 68.5 ±10.3year. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the most common risk factors. HF with reduced ejection fraction represents about 49%. Forty-four percent had dilated cardiomyopathy. Ischemic heart disease is the first cause of HF.
