Recovered gruop: Patients with systolic heart failure who initially had a LVEF < 45% and who reached a LVEF * 45% after a minimum treatment period of 1.5 years will be included.
Patients must be over 18 years of age and competent of giving informed consent.;Control group: Patients with heart failure who have had an initial LVEF <45% and have not recovered (a LVEF < 45%) after a minimum treatment period of 1.5 year will serve as controls.
Controls must be over 18 years of age and competent of giving informed consent
1. Diastolic heart failure
2. Congenital causes of heart failure

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>1. The difference in occurrence of beta2-receptor haplotypes between the<br /><br>recovered and the control group will serve as a primary outcome.<br /><br>2. The difference in occurrence of beta2-receptor haplotypes in a good<br /><br>responders group versus a bad responders group. Good responders will be defined<br /><br>as a change in LVEF >15% and bad responders as a change in LVEF <15%, both<br /><br>after an average treatment of 1.5 years.<br /><br>3. The difference in mean change LVEF in each group of beta2-receptor<br /><br>haplotypes.<br /><br>4. All outcomes described above, but then assessed for the single-nucleotide<br /><br>polymorphisms.</p><br>
