Heart failure associated with high mortality, disability of the population and representing an economic burden for the society, is one of the major challenges in the modern health care [5]. A 10-year population observation demonstrated that the incidence of chronic heart failure (CHF) grows by an average of 1.2 people per 1 thousand per year. In Russia, CHF was diagnosed in 92% of patients admitted to cardiology hospitals in 2003 [9]. The main reason for the increasing number of CHF patients and duration of hospital stay is late detection of the disease.
