Study summary

Burden of HF in India is approximate 2-5 million patients with an estimated prevalence of 2-3/1000 population. HF is responsible for approx1.8 million admissions annually in India. Very few studies are there in India which shows the detailed documentation of HF.

Manipal Heart failure Registry (MHFR) is an institutional level Heart Failure disease registry. In MHFR the investigator will document the detailed information about heart failure patients admitted or referred to Department of Cardiology, Kasturba Medical College, a constituent college and teaching hospital of Manipal University.

MHFR will include cohorts of patients with acute heart failure (AHF), with the intention of implementing a long-term follow-up, the use of health economic assessment to evaluate the degree of resource utilization; and quantifying the burden on quality of life for patients. Utilization of drug in HF patients will be evaluated as a part of this study to prevent the use of inappropriate drug therapy and to improve overall drug effectiveness and outcomes. Hence the protocol sought to identify the characteristics and long-term outcomes of Indian patients with acute heart failure admitted in an Indian tertiary care center in South India.

There are no risks to patients participating in the registry study, as standard of care quality will not be affected. It is unlikely that there will be any direct benefit as a result of participation in the HF-disease registry. However, the information contained within this non-interventional registry study will be used for research studies directed at improving the knowledge and treatment of acute heart failure as well as improving patients treatment in the future.

The potential impact of proposed research (Manipal Heart Failure Registry) is envisioned to be four-fold:

  1. to enable a broad overview of the routine medical practices for HF treatment;
  2. to assess the healthcare resource utilization and drug utilization review for heart failure patients
  3. to assess the burden of disease (mortality, re-hospitalization) in the long term; and
  4. to provide a novel overview of the impact of HF syndrome on quality of life as well as health economics.
Read the detailed description

RESEARCH GAPS IDENTIFIED:

Only a couple of registry studies in India have followed patients for not more than one year and therefore long-term data on disease management and healthcare resource utilization and health economics has never addressed adequately. Typically, these studies have focused primarily upon inpatient HF clinical profiles, where detailed long-term documentation of cardiac function, treatment patterns, and outcomes is lacking.

HYPOTHESES:

Long term follow up of heart failure patients can identify the disease characteristics, clinical outcomes and help in the development of a disease progression model, thereby eventually improving the practice standards. Proper utilization of healthcare resources decrease in-hospital and follow up mortality in heart failure patients.

The study team also hypothesize that the commonest cause of acute heart failure in our population in present era is myocardial infarction.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This proposed observational study is a single center HF-disease registry that will document the routine patterns of diagnosis and medical care for heart failure as well as treatment type, long-term HF-related clinical events, and re-admission rates following the acute admission index event. In addition to the long-term data collection, the study will also link treatment plans and clinical outcomes, to identify best practice in the HF treatment, as well as extent of healthcare resources use. The registry will also collect data on health-related quality of life.

Eligible patients and caregivers may only be included in the study after providing written (witnessed, where required by law or regulation), IRB/IEC-approved informed consent, or, if incapable of doing so, after such consent has been provided by a legally acceptable representative of the patient.

RISKS AND BENEFITS There are no risks to patients participating in the registry study, as standard of care quality will not be affected. It is unlikely that there will be any direct benefit as a result of participation in the HF-disease registry. However, the information contained within this non-interventional registry study will be used for research studies directed at improving the knowledge and treatment of acute heart failure as well as improving patients' treatment in the future.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients 18 year old, and above
  2. Patients with a documented diagnosis of Acute heart failure (or chronic heart failure with acute exacerbations) as decided by the physician according to local practices and their clinical judgment (i.e., History/examination; Chest X-ray; , Echocardiogram, BNP or NT-proBNP).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient's participation in any other clinical trial with an treatment.
  2. Use of investigational drugs within 5 half-lives of enrolment, or until the expected pharmacodynamic effect has returned to baseline, whichever is longer (as guideline, last dose for small molecules should have occurred more than 30 days, and for biologics more than 4 months prior to enrolment).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Prognosis of Heart Failure

    Post discharge events are measured using symptoms and treatment outcomes assessment at follow up

    Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

  2. Characterization of Heart failure

    Characterization of HF is measured using in-hospital assessment at index hospitalization and discharge

    Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

Secondary outcomes

  1. Treatment Pattern

    Treatment policies for acute heart failure at admission, during hospital stay and at follow ups

    Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

  2. Health care resources utilization

    disease burden and economic burden of disease

    Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

Other outcomes

  1. Health related quality of life

    Using patient questionnaire

    Time frame: "through study completion, an average of 1 year"

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2015 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2018, 35 months after the start.

Of 793 non-industry observational studies under Heart Failure, half reached primary completion within 45 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 99. This study's planned 35 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 975 studies reached it within 41 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 89.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 19, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
