Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction was first diagnosed in our hospital from January 2016 ~ November 2023, which was defined as left ventricular ejection fraction <=40%; (2) At least two visits to our hospital after the first diagnosis of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, including but not limited to outpatient and inpatient departments; (3) The management of the professional team provides guideline-oriented standardized drug treatment, in which ARNI/ACEI/ARB and ß-B need to be individually titrated to the maximum tolerated dose every 1 ~ 2 weeks according to the patient's tolerance, symptoms, signs, and laboratory indicators. Patients receive device therapy as needed, including implantable transvenous cardioverter defibrillators, fully subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers/cardioverter defibrillators.
