Trends in Medical and Device Therapies Following Incident Heart Failure in Denmark during 1996-2019: A Nationwide Register-Based Follow-Up Study.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Data on temporal trends in guideline-based medical and device therapies in real-world chronic heart failure (HF) patients are lacking. Methods: Register-based nationwide follow-ups of temporal trends in characteristics, guideline-recommended therapies, one-year all-cause mortality, and HF rehospitalizations in incident HF patients in Denmark during 1996-2019.
