Abstract     Epidemiological follow up of heart failure is difficult because of inaccurate and different definitions of heart failure. Data of different existing studies are not easily translated into incidence and prevalence of heart failure. Heart failure is primarily a clinical diagnosis. First descriptions of heart failure originate-from ancient Egypt and Greece. There are also many turning-points, which have influenced the recognizing and treatment of heart failure for example: i.e. the description of blood circulation by William Harvey in 1628, discovery of X rays, development of electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac catherization and development of nuclear medicine. All over the world different studies have dealt and still dealing with heart failure, the most well known among them :being the Framingham's study. On the other hand, different data on this disease can be found on the institutes of public health, where data are collected routinely, giving us a general estimation of some problems or diseases. We can find diagnosis of heart failure in the groups of diseases which are included in IX. chapter of International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems - 10th revision (ICD 10) chapter Cardiovascular diseases.
Summary     Epidemiološko spremljanje srčnega popuščanja je težje zaradi nenatančnih in različnih definicij srčnega popuščanja. Podatke iz različnih študij težko prevedemo v incidenco in prevalenco tega pojava. Srčno popuščanje je primarno klinična diagnoza. Prvi opisi obstajajo iz starodavnega Egipta in Grčije, obstaja pa kar nekaj mejnikov, ki so vplivali na prepoznavanje in zdravljenje srčnega popuščanja (npr. opis krvnega obtoka, odkrtje RTG žarkov, elektrokardiografija, ehokardiografija, kateterizacija srca in razvoj nuklearne medicine). V svetu so-spremljali in še danes spremljamo srčno popuščanje z različnimi študijami. Najbolj znana je Framinghamska študija, obstajajo pa še druge. Na območnih zavodih za zdravstveno varstvo imamo na voljo rutinsko zbrane podatke iz različnih podatkovnih zbirk, ki nam dajo orientacijsko oceno določenega pojava oziroma diagnoze. v članku je diagnoza srčno popuščanje vpletena v skupinah diagnoz po MKB-10 is poglavja IX - Bolezni obtočil.
