FRENCH OBSERVATORY OF ACUTE HEART FAILURE-2

Completed

• Conditions: Heart Failure

• Registration Number: NCT05232058
• Lead Sponsor: French Cardiology Society

Brief Summary

In 2009, OFICA 1 provided a snapshot of the management of acute heart failure in France.

Over the past 10 years, practitioners have observed a change in the profiles of hospitalized patients and it is necessary to specify the evolution of these characteristics, especially since the recommendations concerning management have changed significantly; this is the objective of this observatory.

Like patients suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes or asthma, heart failure patients are therefore at the center of their management. Compliance is improved when patients have understood the reason for the prescription. Ideally, compliance should not be achieved by respecting externally imposed norms, but rather by respecting norms that are understood, adapted, personalized and accepted.

A self-questionnaire will thus be given to patients on the day of inclusion in the study.

In heart failure patients with an average age of 80 years, systematic screening for cognitive disorders using a simple test recommended by the French National Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé), the codex test, will make it possible to offer more appropriate care if necessary (geriatric or neurology consultation).

Finally, follow-up at 3 months and at 1 and 2 years will be carried out by matching with data from the National Health Data System (SNDS)
