PLASMA Chile (PLASMA Chile)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study to collect data on Chilean patients diagnosed with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction, their treatments, and their progress in a real-world environment. Additional objectives will be analyzed, such as mortality, and the barriers, if any, to receiving the indicated treatment.

Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Identify the main epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction, as well as the medical treatment models used. [1 year]
Patient´s baseline characteristics, medical history, socio-economic data, ancillary studies, laboratory tests, and cardiovascular medication will be summarized using summary statistics. Continuous variables will be presented using mean, standard deviation (SD), minimum, median, maximum, and interquartile range (IQR). Categorical variables will be presented as frequency and percentage.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Determine the prescription rate of a cardiovascular pharmacological treatment in patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction [1 year]
Percentage of cardiovascular medication prescription by type
- Determine the prescription rate of a cardiac medical device in patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction [1 year]
Percentage of patients with an indication for a cardiac medical device.
- Determine the implant rate of a cardiac medical device in patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction [1 year]
Percentage of patients implanted with a cardiac medical device.
- Determine the mortality rate and its classification in patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction during a 12-month period. [1 year]
Percentage of deaths during the study follow-up period Number and percentage of deaths according to their classification. Risk assessment of sudden cardiac death in the population. Risks comparison of sudden death at 6 and 12 months of follow-up
- Determine the hospitalization rate for heart failure during the 12-month follow-up. [1 year]
Percentage of Hospitalizations during the study follow-up period.
- Identify the barriers, if any, to prescribing and implanting a cardiac medical device in those patients with a Class I recommendation according to the ACC/AHA/HRS 2017 guidelines. [1 year]
Percentage of reasons for not indicating a cardiac medical device. Number and percentage of reasons for not implanting a cardiac medical device
- Determine the population with a profile of 1.5 primary prevention of sudden cardiac death [1 year]
Frequency of patients with indication for 1.5 primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (patients with Heart Failure in primary prevention who have one or more of the following risk factors: syncope or pre-syncope; left ventricular ejection fraction less than 25%; presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia; more than 10 ventricular extrasystoles per hour observed in a 24-hour Holter)
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
