Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, non-interventional, single arm cohort study with prospective collection of primary data via pharmacists in community pharmacies to describe adherence to sacubitril/valsartan in study patients at the end of the study. Eligible patients with newly prescribed sacubitril/valsartan will be observed in pharmaceutical routine.
Detailed Description
The study duration will last up to about 30 weeks per patient and will consist of a approximately three visits - Baseline visit (V1), week 1-12 (V2) and week 13-30 (V3). No exact date for visit 2 and visit 3 will be enforced, to avoid interference with usual care.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of patients who report a MARS-5 Score of ≥ 80% related to sacubitril/valsartan at the end of the study
Time Frame: Visit 3, up to 30 weeks
Percentage of patients who report a MARS-5 Score of ≥ 80% related to sacubitril/valsartan at the end of the study will be collected. The MARS-5 questionnaire consists of five questions measuring non-adherence ranging from "never" (5 points) to "always" (1 points), therefore the score has a range from 5 - 25 points. This score will be transformed to a percentage score so that a patient with 5 points ("always" for all answers) scores 100% whereas a patient with 25 points ("never" for all answers) scores 0%.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of patients with worsening of HF and reason for event.(Up to 30 weeks)
- Number of patients with pre-defined comorbidities(Baseline)
- Number of patients by HF-treatment(Baseline)
- Number of patients by reason for initiation of sacubitril/valsartan(Baseline)
- Number of all medications and products that the patient is currently taking on a regular basis(Baseline)
- Change from baseline in weekly patient activity and quality of life (PA & QoL) questionnaire(Up to 30 weeks)
- Number of deaths(Up to 30 weeks)
- Change from baseline in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)(Baseline, up to 30 weeks)
