Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective cohort study of patients with Heart Failure with an eighteen-month follow-up aimed to collect all demographic, clinical, biological and para-clinical data to study population characteristics, assess prognosis markers and occurrence of HF treatment side effects.
Congestive Heart failure is a frequent pathology and its prevalence increases with age. Its prognosis stays pejorative despite years of major therapeutical progress. In recent trials, all-cause mortality rates at 1-year reach up to 20% and 50% at 5 years.
Medical care of congestive heart failure is based on precise international recommendations. The association of Beta-Blockers, renin-angiotensin system blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, represent the basis of the pharmacological treatment.
Cardiac resynchronization treatment and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator are additional efficient treatments that reduce events in appropriately selected patients.
Despite these improvements, the prognostic of congestive heart failure in registers is worse than those observed in randomized trials. This can be explained by differences in congestive heart failure patient populations and/or by a less rigorous medical care where treatments are not optimized.
The evaluation of medical care in congestive heart failure is today of utmost importance.
Integrating new pharmacological molecules, medical devices and the application of new recommendations have major interest for documentation and practical changes.
The main objective of this cohort will be to evaluate the evolution of the 12-month quality of life score of a HF patient and the characteristics and treatments associated with it.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline Quality of life questionnaire : EuroQol (EQ-5D) at 12 months
Time Frame: 12 months
Measurement of quality of life of patients with heart failure: patient will answer to this questionnaire (Mobility, Autonomy of the person, Current activities, Pain ,Anxiéty/Depression) ) at baseline and at 12th month visit. The evolution between these two scores will be analysed .

- number of dialysis(18 months)
- Renal function : glomerular filtration rate(2 months)
- number of death (all-cause)(18 months)
- number of all cardiovascular cause death(18 months)
- number of stroke(18 months)
- symptomatic hypotension(18 months)
- Heart failure stage will be assessed thanks to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification(Baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months)
- cardiac assistance or heart transplantation(18 months)
- NT-proBNP(18 months)
- nonfatal myocardial infarction(18 months)
