Contemporary epidemiology and treatment of hospitalized heart failure patients in real clinical practice in China.

Among the hospitalized patients with HF in China, coronary heart disease and hypertension are the mostly prevalent causes. HFpEF accounts for a large proportion of hospitalized patients with HF. HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF have different etiology and clinical features. In real-world, there are still large gaps in the effective application of the guideline recommended therapies to HF patients, especially the non-pharmacological therapy option, which needs to be improved further in China.
