    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.
