MyoVasc-Kohortenstudie

The Myovasc Study is a prospective cohort study investigating heart failure and its interactions with vascular disease. From January 2013 to January 2017 approximately 3000 participants with asymptomatic and symptomatic heart failure are eligible for the study. The primary outcome of interest is worsening of heart failure, defined as transition of cardiac dysfunction to symptomatic heart failure or cardiac death in asymptomatic individuals and hospitalization or cardiac death in symptomatic heart failure. Study participants start with a 5-hour baseline examination including comprehensive cardiovascular diagnostics. A follow up with the same examination program is performed after 2 and 4 years. A computer-assisted telephone interview with assessment of outcome is conducted yearly.
