Detailed description

The Center for patients with heart failure cared for in a center practicing therapeutic education dedicated to heart failure. The definition of heart failure selected for inclusion is that recommended by the European Society of Cardiology : presence of at least two signs or symptoms of heart failure (dyspnea, edema of the ankles crackles) at rest or during exercise associated with objective evidence (preferably by echocardiography) of cardiac dysfunction ( systolic and / or diastolic) (resting) and in case of doubt, a response to specific treatment of heart failure. All patients who are undergoing a program of therapeutic education track are listed and included in the group of patients educated. All patients who receive no education or only a minimal element for any reason whatsoever are also listed and included in the group of patients who are not educated. Follow up is done by CRAs at the French Society of Cardiology, by mailing and phone contacts.
