The most notified year for the pathology was 2013, with 17,747 hospitalizations, followed by 2014 with 16,407 hospitalizations. Final considerations: It is concluded that CHF is a public health problem in which it has generated hospital costs and decreased the quality of life in the elderly, mainly. Therefore, there needs to be awareness of the population and continued education about healthy lifestyle habits that can enable a regression of hospitalizations due to the pathology. Conclusion: The highest reports of hospitalizations are among brown and white men, in the 70-79 age group. The state of Goiás had the highest record of hospitalization notifications, and in 2013, there was the highest number of hospitalizations.
