NATIONAL HEART FAILURE REGISTRY OF INDIA

National Heart Failure Registry of India (NHFR INDIA)

Heart Failure (HF) is an important cardiovascular problem in India and its prevalence appears to rise. The data from the ICMR funded Trivandrum Heart Failure Registry shows that the Indian patients are younger by 10 years and majority of the burden is below 65 years of age compared to the west. We have no data on heart failure representative of the country.

NFHR is the first nationally representative HF registry aimed at providing crucial information on prevailing etiology, distribution and current practices in the management of HF.

The National Heart Failure Registry (NHFR) is a multicentric, hospital-based registry of heart failure patients from 53 centers across India. Consecutive patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure satisfying the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2016 criteria will be enrolled into the registry from January 2019 to December 2019. Each participating center is expected to contribute 200 patients into the registry (i.e., more than 10,000 heart failure patients from India). We are collecting demographics, clinical, laboratory, imaging, and other diagnostic data at baseline from all registered patients in the registry by using a structured document. Additionally, we are collecting the details of treatment practices and the usage of guideline-directed therapy from all participants. We intend to obtain the in-hospital, 3-months, 6-months and one-year outcome data on mortality, cause of death, and repeated hospitalization events.
