Heart failure is one of the most important reasons for hospitalization among elderly individuals and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Epidemiological studies require the establishment of high-quality databases. Several datasets that primarily involve heart failure populations have been established in Western countries and have generated many high-quality studies. However, no such dataset is available from China. Due to differences in genetic background and healthcare systems between China and Western countries, the establishment of a heart failure database for the Chinese population is urgently needed. We performed a retrospective single-center observational study to collect data regarding the characteristics of heart failure patients in China by integrating electronic healthcare records and follow-up outcome data. The study collected information for a total of 2,008 patients with heart failure, containing 166 attributes.
心力衰竭是老年人住院的最重要原因之一，与高死亡率和高发病率相关。开展流行病学研究需要建立高质量的数据库。西方国家建立了一些主要涉及心力衰竭人群的数据集，并生成了许多高质量的研究。然而，中国没有这样的数据集。由于中国和西方国家在遗传背景和医疗保健系统方面存在差异，因此迫切需要为中国人建立心力衰竭数据库。我们进行了一项回顾性单中心观察性研究，通过整合电子医疗记录和随访结果数据，来收集中国心力衰竭患者特征的数据。该研究共收集了 2008 例心力衰竭患者的信息，包含 166 个属性。
