| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a common comorbidity with a major prognostic impact in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, screening and diagnostic practices for HF in nephrology clinics are not optimized. The aim was to assess routine clinical practice and identify gaps in HF diagnosis in the care of patients with CKD at any stage. Methods: A nationwide survey of Spanish nephrologists was conducted using an electronic questionnaire. Data collection took place over a two-month period. Results: A total of 73 centers completed the questionnaire. The estimated prevalence of HF among the patients seen was 44.1%, although only 30% of these cases were thought to be documented in the medical record. Although 55.4% of respondents reported performing active screening, the use of diagnostic tools such as echocardiography, natriuretic peptides, and electrocardiography was variable and often conditioned by the presence of symptoms. Conclusion: These findings support a call to action based on the need to implement protocolized, multidisciplinary strategies to optimize HF diagnosis, as well as the early initiation of appropriate therapies for HF in patients with chronic kidney disease.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: La insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) es una comorbilidad frecuente y de gran impacto pronóstico en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC). Sin embargo, las prácticas para el cribado y diagnóstico de la IC en las consultas de Nefrología no están optimizadas. El objetivo fue evaluar la práctica clínica habitual y detectar lagunas en el diagnóstico de IC en la atención a pacientes con ERC en cualquier estadio. Métodos: Se realizóuna encuesta nacional a nefrólogos españoles a través de un cuestionario electrónico. La recogida de datos se realizó durante dos meses. Resultados: Un total de 73 centros completaron el cuestionario. La prevalencia estimada de IC entre los pacientes atendidos fue del 44,1%, aunque se estimóque solo el 30% de estos casos estaban documentados en la historia clínica. Aunque el 55,4% de los encuestados refiriórealizar cribado activo, el uso de herramientas diagnósticas como la ecocardiografía, los péptidos natriuréticos y el electrocardiograma fue variable y con frecuencia condicionado a la presencia de síntomas. Conclusión: Estos resultados sugieren la conveniencia de avanzar hacia estrategias protocolizadas e interdisciplinares que optimicen el diagnóstico de la IC, como en la instauración precoz de terapias adecuadas para la IC en pacientes con ERC.
