A significant number of studies on chronic heart failure (CHF) are published worldwide. However, the issue of uniform criteria and approaches to accounting for ambulatory care and mortality associated with this pathology in patient accounting systems has remained resolved, meaning the data and indicators obtained in different regions and countries are not comparable. The aim of the article is to substantiate the need for discussion in the Russian Society of Cardiology on the possibility, principles and methodology of uniform accounting of ambulatory care, hospitalizations and deaths associated with chronic heart failure in healthcare using the classifications of heart failure applied in clinical practice.
