Purpose of the study: To study comorbid conditions in patients with heart failure living in regions with a hot climate. Research materials: 323 patients were examined who were hospitalized in the cardiology department of Bukhara, in one of the southern and hottest regions of Uzbekistan, where the temperature of the thermometer rises above 400С. Among the examined patients were 150 men (46.43%), 173 women (53.56%). All patients had heart failure and were divided by age into 2 groups up to 59 years old - 161 people and the second group-162 people - over 60 years old. The average age in group 1 was 52.55 + 6.42 years, the average age in group 2 was 67.56 + 6.7 years (p <0.001).
