OBJECTIVES: To understand the burden of chronic heart failure (HF) on patients in Colombia. METHODS: A Disease-Specific Program was conducted to assess the impact of chronic HF. Patient record forms (PRF) were completed by 30 cardiologists for 8 consecutive patients with CHF. The same patients were invited to complete a patient self-completion (PSC) questionnaire. RESULTS: PSC Data (n=116) revealed that the mean patient age was 70.1 years, and the majority of patients were male (63%). Three fifths of patients had a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥25 kg/mHousehold income: 65 (63%) of respondents reported a household income less than COL$ 2,100,000 per month. Insurance:
