Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To establish a multicenter pediatric end-stage heart failure (ESHF) specialized disease data platform and promote its adoption across major children's medical centers nationwide. Based on this platform, conduct a national multicenter cohort study on specialized treatments for pediatric ESHF (including pharmacotherapy, ventricular assist devices, heart transplantation, etc.). This initiative will provide a foundational platform for advancing national clinical research on pediatric end-stage heart failure.
