Long-term follow-up on the prognostic value of BNP in heart failure patients with mechanical support

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the biomarker BNP in patients with advanced heart failure who are receiving durable mechanical assist devices. It compares outcomes of these patients with those who have undergone heart transplantation and those who are on optimal medical therapy. The study involves a biobank where blood samples will be collected, and patients will be followed for 25 years to assess long-term outcomes. The research is conducted at the Department of Cardiology at Rigshospitalet in Denmark.
