The goal of this observational study is to create an electronic registry of patients diagnosed with Advanced Heart Failure or Heart Transplant, starting from 01/01/1985 and to assess the incidence of Advanced Heart Failure and Heart Transplant, and characterize patients affected by the first or undergoing the second procedure, starting from 01/01/1985. The primary outcomes are: * Hospitalization for cardiovascular cause * Death
Heart failure is a pathological condition characterized by high morbidity and mortality, and it leads to a significant worsening of the quality of life for patients. The treatment of heart failure involves various options; the goal is to slow down the progression of the disease, reduce hospitalizations, increase survival, and reduce symptoms in order to improve the quality of life. Treatments range from pharmacological therapy to lifestyle changes, from device implantation to heart transplant surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment often help reduce symptoms, and many patients with heart failure can return to an active life. Patients with heart failure must undergo regular check-ups to assess their general physical condition and the status of the disease. It is therefore essential to evaluate and systematize the different therapies. This study is both retrospective and prospective
