Health insurance and clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure in Latin America: an observational study of the Colombian Heart Failure Registry (RECOLFACA).

The effect of the health insurance type on the prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients in Colombia and Latin America is poorly known. We aimed to analyze the characteristics of HF patients that participated in the Colombian Heart Failure Registry (RECOLFACA) as stated by their health insurance type and their relationship with the immediate prognosis of these patients. Patients with HF diagnosis were included in the RECOLFACA registry between 2017-2019.
