Details and patient eligibility

About

TransitionCHF aims to recruit a unique cohort of patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (NYHA I) to study the progression to symptomatic (>NYHA I) HF and to identify parameters/ biomarkers promoting and predicting the individual risk of transition. Results from TransitionCHF Cohort Study will inform and refine current treatment guidelines. The implementation of common patient data sets and biobanking standards will enable data and biomaterial sharing with other study groups of the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK). This study will set the standard for a unique DZHK heart failure database and Biobank for innovative preclinical and clinical trials.

  • Written informed consent
  • Age ≥ 18 years

Exclusion criteria

  • Symptomatic heart failure (NYHA>I) at baseline visit
  • Any significant valvular disease (> 2nd degree)
  • Severe pulmonary disease (e.g. FEV1/FVC <0.7 and FEV1<50%)
  • Severe renal disease (GFR < 15 ml/min)
  • ejection fraction at baseline visit ≥ 50% by echocardiography or MRI
  • Life expectancy < 1 year
  • Pericardial disease
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Myocardial infarction within the last 3 months
  • Planned cardiac surgical intervention within 3 months after inclusion
  • Geographical reasons (e. g. patients living outside Germany or planning to move abroad)
  • Inability to give informed consent (e. g. mental disorders)
  • Therapy with loop diuretics (e.g. torasemide, furosemide, piretanide) within 4 weeks prior to inclusion/baseline visit
