4 Protocol summary

5 Primary: To estimate in patients with heart failure the proportion of patients with heart failure and preserved systolic function (HF-PSF) (LVEF 45%) Secondary To estimate the proportion of patients with heart failure among patients attending cardiologists office To characterize the cardiovascular profile (mainly in relation to the presence of hypertension, diabetes and obesity) of patients with chronic heart failure attending cardiologists office To describe the diagnosis tools of heart failure To describe the management and treatment of patients with heart failure To compare the cardiovascular profile, therapeutic management of heart failure patients with and without preserved systolic function To describe the cardiovascular profile, therapeutic management of patients with heart failure in Africa, Middle East, Latin America

6 This study is divided into 2 parts: 1st part: Cardiology registry: Consists of the recording of ALL patients with or without HF visiting cardiologists consecutively over a 2-month period 1 st part Cardiology registry: All patients attending the consultation HF Study: Patients with HF (newly or already diagnosed) M0 M1 M2 M3

7 2 nd part: Heart failure study : 3-month non-interventional, cross-sectional, international, multi-center study in patients with heart failure. At least 5 patients up to 40 patients who satisfy the inclusion criteria will be included. Non-interventional: information collected on characteristics, management and treatments of patients with heart failure. The treatment is determined solely by the patient s investigator => data collected will mirror real life management of these patients. Cross-sectional : data will be collected only at baseline International: study will be conducted in Africa, Middle East and Latin America => enhance the significance of the results and allow analyses on a regional basis because management patterns can vary. Cardiology registry: All patients attending the consultation HF Study: Patients with HF (newly or already diagnosed) 2 nd part M0 M1 M2 M3

8 Inclusion criteria Exclusion criteria Male of female outpatients, over 21 years of age Patients newly or already diagnosed with chronic heart failure Signed informed consent obtained prior to study entry Patients with acute decompensation of heart failure Patients participating in a clinical trial

9 Cardiology Registry Investigator questionnaire( Site location, demographic data, specialty, number of years in practice, type of clinical practice) Investigator will record each day during 2 months : Total number of patients attending investigator s office Number of patients with HF Newly diagnosed Already known has having HF Number of patients included in the HF study.visit schedule

10 Heart failure study following data collected for each patient included Only one visit Cardiovascular profile Cardiovascular risk factors (Hypertension, Atrial fibrillation, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Smoking status, Alcohol consumption) Cardiovascular history Other co-morbidities (Renal failure, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Cognitive decline, Sleep Apnea Syndrom) Heart failure etiology Diagnosis tools for HF (Chest X ray, ECG, Echocardiography, Cardiac catheterization, Laboratory exams) Current therapeutic management (Lifestyle measures and Pharmacological treatment)

26 Prevalence of HF-PSF (LVEF 45%) in patients with EF data (n= 1990) is 64.9% [95% CI ] Patients with HF-PSF (compared with pts with HF and low EF) Are significantly older with a high proportion of women Have higher SBP/DBP Have more frequently a hypertensive or valvular aetiology and a lower frequency of coronary artery disease Have less frequently LVH ACE-inhibitors, loop diuretics, digoxin and betablockers are significantly less prescribed whereas calcium channel blockers and ARB s have a higher prescription rate In this Registry the pharmacologic therapy in both groups (HF-lowEF and HF-PSF) is similar when compared with another international registries (vgr.
