Introduction:heart failure has emerged over the past several decades as a major global public health problem. In addition to the enormous costs in human suffering and loss of productivity, heart failure has imposed an increasingly heavy financial burden on health-care systems throughout the world. Subject and methods:We held a cross sectional analytical study in the Cardiac Center in Al-Madina Al-Monawara. A total of 64 patient with heart failure admitted to the center between 1/3/2012 to 10/4/2012 were subjected to questionnaire to determine the risk factors including age, sex, occupation, smoking, physical activity, co-morbid conditions, and family history. Results: About one third of the total patients admitted to the medical department in Madina Cardiac Centre have heart failure (30.3%). Half of the patients with heart failure are retired and illiterates. DM, hypertension and hyperlipidemia were a common findings in patients with heart failure (45%, 45%, and 40%) respectively. Ischemic heart diseases was the commonest etiology for those with heart failure (85%). Conclusion: Many factors are associated with heart failure, the most common of which is ischemic heart disease . DM, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are also common findings in patients with heart failure.
