Finding Gab in the Treatment of Heart Failure in Assiut University Hospital

Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of Treatment and Doses of Drugs in Patient With Heart Failure Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFREF) Between Asyut University Hospital and Guidelines of European Society 0f Cardiology (ESC)

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Analyze the epidemiology and outcome of all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) presented to Asyut university hospital (AUH) and to identify factors associated with mortality and all-cause hospitalization at a duration of 6 months follow-up.

Clinical Trial Description

Heart failure (HF) is nowadays an important health problem and associated with high use of resources and healthcare cost, but the prevalence of heart failure is increasing due to better care and treatment of HF and to the aging of the population. Epidemiology of HF is changing and shifting towards a higher prevalence of patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction. Moreover, the outcome of HF is grim. The mortality rate is high and hospitalizations are frequent and associated with worse outcomes. The majority of studies that analyzed HF outcomes have focused on HF hospitalizations. However, in patients with HF, all-cause hospitalizations can affect up to 23-58% of the patients at 1-year follow-up and non-cardiovascular hospitalizations are associated with risk of subsequent mortality similar to cardiovascular hospitalizations. Despite the evidence that all-cause hospitalizations are detrimental in HF patients, few studies have analyzed whether the factors associated with all-cause and HF-hospitalizations are different in HF patients.

However, the characteristics and outcome of HF patients are not well described in developing countries like Egypt. Documenting patients' characteristics and the outcome might improve management of comorbidities associated with heart failure patients in Egypt as well as the disease outcome, However, characteristics and outcome of HF patients are not well described in developing countries like Egypt.
