Results: This study found that 32.2% of participants had acute HF. According to causes of heart failure this study reported, hypertension was the most common cause by 89.2%, followed by coronary heart disease 75.7%, rheumatic valve diseases, cardiomyopathy 27%, myocarditis 24.3% and congenital heart disease 13.5%. As regard to the manifestations; general weakness 86.5%, dyspnea 81.1%, orthopnea 78.4%, chest pain 73%, tachycardia and palpitation 70.3%, loss of concentration 43.2%, breathlessness and cough with bloody sputum 35.1%, chest tightness and foamy sputum 27%. Acute HF was more prevalent among males (70.3%) without significant correlations (P>0.5). 59.5% of patients were more than 60 years. Most (51.4%) of cases attended the emergency room then the Critical Care Unit and 43.2% to the internal medicine department. 83.8% of cases have been compensated.
Conclusion: Acute HF was prevalent among chronically ill patients in Dammam and Al-Qatif cities, Eastern Saudi Arabia, more in males and elderly populations. Early and good control of hypertension and coronary heart diseases is recommended.
