Data were extracted from coded and uncoded fields in electronic medical records. The prevalence and annual incidence of HF were calculated, along with 95% confidence intervals, using the \u2018active\u2019 population of people who were regular attenders at the practices. Age-standardized estimates were also derived using the 2017 Australian population as reference. The mean age of the population with HF was 69.8 years, 50.6% were female, and mean body mass index was 31.2 kg\/m2. The age-standardized prevalence was 2.199% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.168\u20132.23%], and the age-standardized annual incidence was 0.348% (95% CI: 0.342\u20130.354%). These estimates accord with almost 420 000 people living with HF in Australia in 2017, and &amp;gt;66 000 new cases of HF occurring that year. Only 18.9% of patients with definite HF had this formally captured as a \u2018diagnosis\u2019 in their medical record. HF was more frequent among those of lower socio-economic status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HF is common in Australia.
