The goal of this observational study is to learn about heart function and high lung blood pressure in patients with heart failure. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are whether we can improve the ability to predict patients who will have complications after they receive treatment including heart transplant and left ventricular assist devices.
Prospective cohort study of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction that are referred for diagnostic right heart catheterization as part of their evaluation for candidacy for advanced heart failure therapies.
