About this study

Official title: Gulf Documentation of Ambulatory Sick Patients With Heart Failure Registry

In the Middle East and the Gulf, the general population have high cardiovascular risks like diabetes, hypertension, smoking and obesity. The average age of a patient with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event is relatively young compared to Western populations. Women are multiparous and the rates of consanguinity marriages are high in this region of the world. These risk factors and conditions result in heart failure. Great deal of knowledge is missing regarding the influence of these risk factors on heart failure presentation, the causes and management of heart failure in ambulatory patients in this region of the world.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quantifying the causes of heart failure in the ambulatory patients in the outpatient setting

    Number of participants with main reason due to heart failure from Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Hypertension, Valvular, Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Congenital, Pregnancy / delivery related, or other reason to be specified

    Measured: Single time point at baseline upon inclusion (cross-sectional)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Measure investigations that heart failure patients undergo

    Number of participants who have had echocardiography done less than 1 month, 1-6 months, greater than 6 months from enrollment

    Measured: Up to 6 months before inclusion

  2. Measuring patient functional status in heart failure patients

    • Number of participants who can walk independently, walk with assistance, or are unable to walk.
    • Number of participants who are limited in dressing, somewhat limited, or not limited.
    • Number of participants who are can shower in a limited manner, somewhat limited, or not limited

    Measured: Single time point at baseline upon inclusion (cross-sectional)

  3. Relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and heart failure

    Measured: Single time point at baseline upon inclusion (cross-sectional)

  4. Measuring Management Gaps in heart failure patients

    • Number of participants with 0, 1, 2, or greater than 2 emergency room visits related to heart failure
    • Number of participants with 0,1, 2, or greater than 2 hospital admissions related to heart failure

    Measured: Past 12 months upon inclusion
