dc.description.abstractBackground/aim: Final diagnosis of heart failure (HF) relies on a combination clinical findings, laboratory and imaging tests. The aim of this study was to review the diagnostic approach to HF in Türkiye. Materials and methods: This study is a subanalysis of the nationwide TRends-HF study, based on anonymized data from National Electronic Database between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2022. Variables including date of birth, sex, socioeconomic development index, place of initial HF diagnosis, comorbidities, investigations, and diagnostic procedures were reported. Laboratory variables, including complete blood count, natriuretic peptides (NP), estimated glomerular filtration rate, uric acid, electrolytes, albumin, lipid profile, ferritin and hemoglobin A1c levels, and other imaging techniques (coronary angiogram [CAG], transthoracic echocardiography [TTE], chest X-ray [CXR], etc.) during the initial diagnosis and/or follow-up of HF patients, were obtained from the National Electronic Database. The diagnostic test usage rates were analyzed according to years, geographical regions, and socioeconomic regions of Türkiye. Results: The study population consisted of 2,722,151 HF patients (51.7% female, mean age 68.33 ± 14.01 years). All HF patients had at least one electrocardiogram and one TTE examination, and all underwent routine biochemical tests at least once during the follow-up period. CXR utilization rate was 93.7%, while CAG utilization rate was 17.9%. Coronary computed tomographic angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were performed in only 1.8% and 0.3% of patients, respectively. Among all Turkish HF patients, 16.3% had at least one NP measurement. The highest rate of NP use was observed in the Central Anatolia Region (21.0%), while the lowest rate was in the Aegean Region (11.7%). NP measurement during HF diagnosis revealed a rising trend over time (12.3% in 2016 vs. 26.3% in 2021). Conclusion: The widespread use of TTE at the beginning of the diagnosis and during follow-up is important for providing quality care to HF patients in Türkiye. However, detailed laboratory tests and advanced imaging methods are not utilized sufficiently, which could lead to issues in patient management.
