Documentation of Heart Failure in a Gulf Registry

Completed

• Conditions: Heart Failure

• Registration Number: NCT02793180
• Lead Sponsor: Gulf Heart Association

Brief Summary

In the Middle East and the Gulf, the general population have high cardiovascular risks like diabetes, hypertension, smoking and obesity. The average age of a patient with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event is relatively young compared to Western populations. Women are multiparous and the rates of consanguinity marriages are high in this region of the world. These risk factors and conditions result in heart failure. Great deal of knowledge is missing regarding the influence of these risk factors on heart failure presentation, the causes and management of heart failure in ambulatory patients in this region of the world.
