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.
