O objetivo foi descrever o perfil clínico e epidemiológico dos pacientes com Insuficiência Cardíaca (IC)
atendidos em uma clínica especializada do Sistema Único de Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo,
individual e transversal, que coletou dados de prontuários de pacientes com IC. Os pacientes foram
divididos em três grupos de acordo com a fração de ejeção ventricular esquerda (FEVE): preservada
(ICFEp), intermediária (ICFEi) e reduzida (ICFEr). Foram avaliados 545 prontuários, com idade média de
64,9 ± 13,6 anos, e 55,6% sendo do sexo masculino. Hipertensão arterial (76,7%), doença arterial
coronariana (38,5%), e diabetes mellitus (37,2%) foram os principais fatores de risco encontrados. A
cardiomiopatia isquêmica foi a principal etiologia (36,40%), seguida da chagásica (20.22%). A etiologia
valvar apresentou frequente associação com ICFEr (ρ de Pearson <0,06), ICFEi (ρ de Pearson <0,10) e
ICFEp (ρ de Pearson <0,39). A etiologia isquêmica se mostrou frequente nos pacientes com ICFEi (ρ de
Pearson <0,08). Os achados mostraram forte associação entre ICFEp e doença valvar; frequente associação
entre ICFEi e doença valvar e isquêmica; frequente associação entre ICFEr e doença valvar.The purpose was to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with Heart Failure (HF) treated at a specialized clinic in the Unified Health System. This is a descriptive, individual and cross-sectional study, which collected data from medical records of patients with HF. Patients were divided into three groups according to the stroke volume: preserved, mid-range and reduced. A total of 545 medical records were evaluated, with a mean age of 64.9 ± 13.6 years, and 55.6% of which were male. Hypertension (76.7%), coronary artery disease (38.5%), and diabetes mellitus (37.2%) were the main risk factors. Myocardial ischemia was the main etiology (36.40%), followed by Chagas disease (20.22%). The valve etiology was frequently associated with reduced LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) (Pearson's ρ <0.06), with mid-range LVEF (Pearson's ρ <0.10) and with preserved LVEF (Pearson's ρ <0.39). The ischemic etiology was frequent in preserved LVEF (Pearson's ρ <0.08). The findings showed a strong association between valve disease and preserved LVEF; frequent association between mid-range LVEF and valve and ischemic disease; frequent association between valve disease and reduced LVEF.Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde (FS)Departamento de Odontologia (FS ODT
