Popis: Objective: Heart failure (HF) has emerged as a global public health problem that affects both low and high-income countries. The high HF burden and the need for resource-intensive treatments often lead to health system crisis in resource-poor settings. Data on prevailing practice patterns and long-term clinical outcomes of HF are scarce from the low and middle-income countries. Nationally representative HF data from India are not available. Methods: The National Heart Failure Registry (NHFR) is a multicentric, hospital-based registry of HF patients from 53 centers across India. Consecutive patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute decompensated HF satisfying the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2016 criteria will be enrolled into the registry from January 2019 to December 2019. Each participating center is expected to contribute 200 patients into the registry (i.e., more than 10,000 HF patients from India). We are collecting demographics, clinical, laboratory, imaging, and other diagnostic data at baseline from all registered patients in the registry by using a structured document. Additionally, we are collecting the details of treatment practices and the usage of guideline-directed therapy from all participants. We intend to obtain the in-hospital, 3-months, 6-months and one-year outcome data on mortality, cause of death, and repeated hospitalization events. Conclusions: In summary, NFHR will be the first nationally representative HF registry aimed at providing crucial information on prevailing etiology, distribution and current practices in the management of HF.
