Study Description
This is a multicenter, non-randomized, non-interventional cohort study with prospective
and retrospective collection of primary data on heart failure with reduced ejection
fraction (HFrEF) patient treatment and care following a decompensation event in different
types of Heart Failure Unit (HFU) or non-HFU centers across Germany. This study aims to describe quality of care of HFrEF patients following a decompensation
event in different center types (=settings) utilizing the quality indicators for the care
and outcomes of adults with heart failure as specified by the Heart Failure Association
in 2022.
No strict visit schedule will be imposed on participants to avoid interference with
routine clinical care. HFrEF patients will be treated according to the local routine in
terms of medication, visit frequency and types of assessments performed and only these
data will be collected as part of the study from patient files.
