Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Reduction in the number of hospitalizations for acute heart failure decompensation
Hospitalizations for acute heart failure decompensation assessed during the study period. Changes over time in the number of hospitalizations will be evaluated; a multiparametric score will be used to support clinical assessment.
From the start of the study (14 July 2025) until the end of follow-up (31 March 2026), assessed up to approximately 8.5 months (up to 37 weeks)
Study Arms (1)
Patients with heart failure
Patients with stable heart failure
Eligibility Criteria
Patients followed in the heart failure outpatient clinic or previously hospitalized in hospital wards (e.g., cardiology, cardiac surgery, or internal medicine).
