Purpose

This program is designed to improve medical care and education of hospitalized patients with heart failure and accelerate the initiation of evidence-based heart failure guideline recommended therapies by administering them before hospital discharge. A registry component focusing on admission to discharge and 60- to 90-day follow-up is designed to evaluate the demographic, pathophysiologic, clinical, treatment, and outcome characteristics of patients hospitalized with heart failure.
