Prognostic Value of BNP in MCS - a 25 Year Follow up Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A biobank has been created to investigate the prognostic value of biomarkers (mainly BNP) in patients implanted with durable mechanical assist devices comparing patients with advanced HF supported by MCS with those who are transplanted and those who remain on optimal medical therapy.
Patients will be followed up for 25 years after inclusion.
