Abstract
An important objective of the creation of the Society of Experts in Heart Failure (SEHF) was to assess the level of diagnostics and approaches to the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) in the Russian Federation (RF), without which it was impossible to bring clinical practice to the optimal level and in consistency with the existing clinical guidelines. Thus, along with the development of Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CHF, a series of registries and multicenter clinical trials (MCTs) was conducted to bring the indexes of real practice closer to the developed Guidelines. Numerous MCTs organized during the 25 years of the SEHF existence have significantly improved the substantiated and recommended therapy for CHF administered by practicing physicians in the Russian Federation. This article overviews the most important registries and MCTs that were conducted during the 25 years of the SEHF work and their effect on CHF diagnostics and treatment in the clinical practice in the RF.
