Cardiologist follow-up and improved outcomes of heart failure: a French nationwide cohort
Despite having a HF diagnosis, 40% of patients do not see a cardiologist annually, regardless of disease severity. Simple stratification based on hospitalization history and diuretic use effectively predicts outcomes. Tailoring the annual number of HF consultations according to this stratification could optimize resource use and reduce avoidable modelled deaths.
