Abstract

AbstractIntroductionThe incidence of heart failure (HF) is increasing, largely because populations are both ageing and growing. Most clinical HF treatment trials are conducted on selected cohorts, only a few of which include elderly patients, among whom HF is common. HF registries can include all HF patients, independent of age or comorbidity profile, and thus reflect reality in healthcare management.MethodsThe Icelandic Heart Failure Registry (IHFR) was created in the autumn of 2019 and has operated since 1 January 2020. Based on the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF), it quickly acquired several extensions. All patients admitted for HF to the Department of Cardiology (DC) at Landspítali – The National University Hospital of Iceland are included. Several variables are collected, including the aetiology of HF, comorbidities, clinical assessment at admission, blood tests, imaging results, treatment given and medical therapy at discharge.ResultsDuring the 3 years from 2020 to 2022, the DC admitted 1890 patients. As some were readmitted during the study period, the true total was 2384 admissions. Because the IHFR 2023 edition includes 327 variables, automation of many of them is imperative for data collection.ConclusionHF is a heterogenous disease with numerous underlying factors. HF management differs among HF phenotypes. A registry can serve as an unbiased indicator of care quality and has the potential to be studied in the future to assess the long‐term effects of HF treatment. A registry like the IHFR, therefore, can impact the treatment of all patients recorded in it, reduce the rate of readmissions and even optimize HF management costs.
