On a population of patients followed by an office-based cardiologist and treated with eplerenone, the objectives of the survey are: * To describe the characteristics of the population treated. * To describe the methods of use of eplerenone (posology, duration of treatment, medicinal combinations). * To describe the follow-up methods of the treatment. * To describe the possible interruptions of the treatment
A sample size in the region of N = 400 patients will allow this accuracy of estimation, as for this size, the half-width would be equal to 5% for a frequency of 50% corresponding to a confidence interval of maximum width. In view of the type of survey and the need for 12 months of monitoring in the context of standard practice, it may be anticipated that the drop-off rate will be about 20%. A sample size of N = 500 patients was therefore chosen.

Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population
Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.
Time frame: Baseline
Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Safety Analysis Set (SAS) Population
Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

Time frame: Month 12
Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 3 in FAS Population
Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.
Time frame: Baseline, Month 3
Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 6 in FAS Population
Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.
Time frame: Baseline, Month 6
Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 9 in FAS Population
Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 12 in FAS Population
Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.
