International REgistry to assess medical Practice with lOngitudinal obseRvation for Treatment of Heart Failure (REPORT‐HF): rationale for and design of a global registry

摘要

AimsThe clinical characteristics, initial presentation, management, and outcomes of patients hospitalized with new‐onset (first diagnosis) heart failure (HF) or decompensation of chronic HF are poorly understood worldwide. REPORT‐HF (International REgistry to assess medical Practice with lOngitudinal obseRvation for Treatment of Heart Failure) is a global, prospective, and observational study designed to characterize patient trajectories longitudinally during and following an index hospitalization for HF.
