The prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) in European countries is 0,4-2 % of general population with a significant increase in older age groups. In Eastern Europe the prevalence is estimated to be 13 000 per 1 000 000 inhabitants, that corresponds to 130 000 cases in the Czech Republic. In spite of advances in its treatment the disease continues to have a dismal prognosis and the diagnosis and treatment are challenging not only medically but also from the society perspective and economically.

Keywords: Key words: heart failure, diagnosis, treatment.
