What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish an electronic registry for patients diagnosed with advanced heart failure or those who have undergone heart transplantation, dating back to January 1, 1985. The study will assess the incidence of these conditions and characterize the patient population affected by them. It will focus on primary outcomes such as hospitalizations due to cardiovascular causes and mortality rates. The study employs both retrospective and prospective methodologies to gather comprehensive data on patient experiences and treatment outcomes.
