Brief Summary

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

Rationale. Although several pharmacological treatments, namely renin-angiotensin-system inhibitors, sacubitril/valsartan, beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, improve mortality/morbidity in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), their use in clinical practice is still limited.

Aim. The aim of this project is to use the Swedish HF registry to identify HFrEF patients in need of 1) treatment implementation (initiation of treatments/uptitration), 2) screening and treatment of ID, and 3) with an indication for HF devices (CRT or ICD) but not implanted device, 4) referral for physiotherapy.

Outcomes.

Primary outcome: number of participants experiencing at least one of the following:

1. Drug initiation or uptitration (SGLT2i, MRA, BB, RASi, ARNi, iv iron)
2. ID screening
3. Referral for device therapy (CRT/ICD)

Secondary outcome:

1. Number of participants experiencing at least one drug initiation in the interventional vs. control arm.
2. Number of participants experiencing at least one drug dose up-titration in the interventional vs. control arm.
3. Number of participants experiencing referral for CRT or ICD in the interventional vs. control arm.
4. Number of participants screened for iron deficiency in the interventional vs. control arm.

Tertiary outcome:

1\. Number of participants referred for physiotherapy in the interventional vs. control arm.

Study design. 500 patients will be screened through the Swedish Heart Failure Registry and, whether not on optimal medical treatment, implementation will be started. Outcome will be compared with a control population of 500 patients not enrolled in SwedeHF.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Screening through SwedeHF

HFrEF patients enrolled in SwedeHF and screened for need of GDMT implementation through SwedeHF

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Screening for need of HFrEF GDMT implementation through SwedeHF

Intervention Type OTHER

Screening for need of HFrEF GDMT implementation through SwedeHF

Usual care

HFrEF patients not enrolled in the SwedeHF and therefore not undergoing screening for GDMT implementation

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Registration in SwedeHF with an index date after January 1st 2023 for the screening arm. For controls, hospital access after January 1st 2023.
* HF duration \>6 months to ensure that patients had time to go through the treatment optimization process as recommended by the guidelines.
* HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) defined as categorical or continuous EF ≤40%
* Capable of giving signed informed consent (for the screening arm)

Exclusion Criteria

* Under optimization of HF therapy
* In judgment of the investigator unlikely to understand or comply with study procedures

Control population is sex and age matched with the SwedeHF screening arm (1:1)
