Heart Failure Predictors in Adult Population

Abstract
Cardiovascular insufficiency (HF) has been shown to cause morbidity and mortality in several countries, among other aspects, due to changes in habits and lifestyle, leading to an increase in life expectancy. It is considered a major public health problem given the high prevalence in the adult population, especially in the age group above 65 years. The present study discusses the predictors of HF, based on an integrative review of four studies on the subject. The results showed that, among the risk factors that most tend to imply the onset of HF, are systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, obesity, dyslipidemia, and other factors such as smoking, gender and age.
Keywords: heart failure, public health, adult population.
