To address the unmet needs of people living with heart failure the Irish Heart Foundation is seeking support to achieve the following: 1. A National Heart Failure Registry equipping health service planners with the information to cut excessive mortality&hospital readmission rates
Of all patients with heart disease, those with heart failure are at greatest risk of death when hospitalized with COVID-19. Find out more from the CAPACITY-COVID Registry.
