Study description

Heart failure (HF) is usually classified according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), distinguishing between three phenotypes: HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF), when it is ≤ 40%, HF with mildly reduced or intermediate LVEF (HFmrEF), when it is between 41-49%, and HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF), if LVEF ≥ 50%. It is also common to use the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification to describe the degree of HF, based on the severity of the patient's symptoms. The goal of HF treatment is to reduce mortality, reduce the risk of hospitalizations due to disease decompensation, and improve symptoms. The recommended pharmacological treatment based on scientific evidence varies depending on the HF phenotype. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of people diagnosed with HF and the pharmacological treatments used to manage the disease. We recently conducted this study in Catalonia using the regional SIDIAP database. Our goal is to replicate the same study with national data from BIFAP in order to compare the results.
