NCT02878811

Brief Summary

The investigators will consecutively recruit 5000 patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF) from 50 hospitals across China and follow them up for one year, describe treatment patterns during hospitalization and the follow-ups, examine patients recovery trajectory after HF, and identify targets for care quality improvement.
