# Optimization of Heart Failure Treatment and Implementation of a Risk-based Patient Care Model.

**Official Title:** Optimization of Treatment in Patients With a Diagnosis of Heart Failure and Realization of a Care Model Based on Risk Stratification

**NCT ID:** [NCT07473063](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07473063)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 2428
- **Lead Sponsor:** FROM- Fondazione per la Ricerca Ospedale di Bergamo- ETS
- **Conditions:** Heart Failure
- **Start Date:** 2017-01-01
- **Completion Date:** 2024-06-30
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2026-03-16

## Brief Summary

Collection of data from patients with heart failure, both in the acute phase (data collection during hospital admission) and in the chronic phase (data collection during outpatient follow-up), optimization of the treatment of patients with heart failure, and implementation of a care model based on risk stratification.

## Detailed Description

The study is structured into two distinct phases: retrospective and prospective.

The retrospective phase aims to collect anamnestic, clinical, instrumental, and treatment data relating to patients diagnosed with heart failure, both at discharge (acute heart failure) and in the outpatient setting (chronic heart failure), referred to the Cardiovascular Department of ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII in Bergamo during the period from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2020.

The same data relating to patients diagnosed with heart failure, both at discharge (acute heart failure) and in the outpatient setting (chronic heart failure), referred to the Cardiovascular Department of ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII will be collected prospectively over a three-year period (from June 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023). Each patient will be followed for one year from the index date of inclusion in the study.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Maximum age:** 100 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients consecutively referred to the Cardiovascular Department with a diagnosis of acute heart failure between January 1, 2017 and May 31, 2020 and between June 1, 2020 and June 30, 2023.

Exclusion Criteria:

* None
```

## Primary Outcomes

- **Heart failure free survival** _(time frame: Follow up at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months)_ — Risk of adverse clinical events (mortality and morbidity) in the short to medium term.

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Improvement of 3C-HF prognostic score** _(time frame: Follow up at 3 months)_
- **3C-HF score for heart failure free survival** _(time frame: Follow up at 12 months)_
- **Implement a transitional care model** _(time frame: Up to baseline)_
- **Prevent episodes of heart failure worsening.** _(time frame: Up to baseline)_
