About this trial

This retrospective cohort study is to identify triggers of heart failure (HF) development and drivers of HF progression as well as the underlying cardiac disease (phenotype) to identify patients at risk and predict the clinical course of the disease. Data of patients who were hospitalized during the years 2010-2023 with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/ or with acute heart failure (AHF) will be collected and analyzed. In a subgroup cohort efficacy and safety of digoxin in patients with acute heart failure triggered by tachyarrhythmia will be evaluated.
