Objective: to identify and assess the risk of repeated hospitalization of elderly hospitalized with heart failure diagnosis. Method: analytical and cross-sectional study, with quantitative analysis. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected and the instrument of Probability of Repeated Hospitalization was applied for the elderly population hospitalized in a reference Cardiology Unit. Data analysis was quantitative (absolute and percentage) using the Chi-square test and employing a risk of frailty stratum adapted to the Brazilian reality. Results: most of the elderly were male (60%), reported informal caregiver (62.22%), ischemic etiology of heart failure (26.67%), functional class II by the New York Heart Association (40%), hospital stay of eight to 14 days (37.78%) and average risk of repeated hospitalization (31.11%). There was a positive association between younger age group, coronary heart disease, self-perceived average or poor health and number of hospitalizations in the last year with the risk of readmission (p < 0.05). Conclusion: the use of risk predictors is feasible in heart failure hospitalization, considering the quality of health care and harm prevention.
