Data collection arrangements
Data will be stored and collected in accordance with the GSTFT policies. The database will only be accessed from the Investigators' desktop, with a secure password. A site file will be kept by the principal investigator.
Research programme
The hypothesis is that we can improve our understanding of Heart Failure (HF), the underlying pathophysiology, the interplay of co-morbidities and patients’ progress, as well as the delivery of care to our HF patients, by developing well characterised cohorts of patients from patients referred to GSTFT with a clinical suspicion of HF.
