Abstract :Introduction: Heart failure is the third most common cause of death after coronary artery disease and stroke. If we monitor the mortality of such a fatal disease, we can control the disease more in our study. Therefore, we aimed to create a mortality trend by taking the data of deaths due to heart failure in Turkiye in the last ten years. Methods: We obtained population estimates for Turkey from the TurkStat website. Age- and sex-specific and age-standardized rates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ASRs, using the World standard population and the method of direct standardization); were calculated. Mortality trends from heart failure were assessed using the Joinpoint regression analysis. Statistical analysis was carried out with the Joinpoint software, version 4.9.0.0. We considered p values less than 0.05 to be statistically significant. Results: We found Turkey\`s 10-year standardized mortality rate is 20.63%. The highest mortality rate is in the western Marmara; the lowest one is Eastern Karadeniz. We observed a significant increase in mortality at 10 years in the total population.insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p:0,008);. We detected a significant growth between 2009 and 2016 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p< 0.001); and a significant decrease after 2016 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p:0.047); Conclusion: We obtained standardized mortality rates of heart failure patients in Turkey between 2009 and 2019 according to age, sex and years. We showed the overall mortality reduction after 2016.
