ICC - National Heart Failure Registry



Desired Objectives

This observational registry is designed to enroll patients with heart failure in a pan Indian Population including ones developing acute heart failure during their hospitalization phase.

The built-in eCRF system is designed to

  • Document the clinical patterns, demographics, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in patients diagnosed with heart failure across various states in India.
  • Record and maintain baseline data related to clinical presentation, demographics, laboratory parameters, ECG, CXR, Echocardiography.
  • Document the diagnostic patterns, treatment protocol and practice patterns.

This data will be analyzed to garner insights into the various etiological factors, co-morbid conditions; diagnostic modalities used and practice patterns and challenges faced in heart failure treatment. The economic impact, gap in guideline directed treatment and follow up could be addressed. This would help in planning better utilization of resources, which may have to be modified in a country like India.

  Pilot Phase ICC – National Heart Failure Registry
Primary objective Gain a clear understanding of the clinical, demographic, and etiological factors of HF in the country. Estimates of mortality, nonfatal outcomes, and rehospitalisation would also be obtained. This is to closely track the clinical, demographic and etiological factors of Heart Failure in the country and also to estimate in-hospital mortality, 30 day, 6 month and 1 year mortality and re-hospitalisation.
Secondary objective To understand the diagnostic and therapeutic options offered along with the prognostic parameters and practice patterns. To understand the diagnostic and therapeutic options offered and also to understand the prognostic parameters pertaining to mortality and re-hospitalisation.
Inclusion criteria Patients above 18 years of age, admitted to hospital ICU/ward of the participating centres, clinically diagnosed with Acute HF. Patients above 18 years of age, admitted to hospital ICU/ward of the participating centers, clinically diagnosed with Acute HF.
