[The possibilities of improving the treatment of chronic heart failure according to the results of a multicenter observational study BYHEART].

Aim: To study the efficacy and safety of exogenous phosphocreatine (EF) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Materials And Methods: The all-Russian prospective observational study BYHEART included 842 patients who were treated with EF. Before and after the course of EF therapy, the following studies were conducted: a questionnaire on the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and a clinical condition assessment scale (SHOCK), transthoracic echocardiography with an assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction, a 6-minute walk test, determination of the level of pro-natriuretic N-terminal peptide (NT-proBNP), glomerular filtration rate.

Interim Results of the BYHEART Observational Study: Exogenous Phosphocreatine Effect on the Quality of life of Patients with Chronic Heart Failure.

Aim      Improvement of quality of life is one of the most important goals for the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study searched for ways to increase the efficiency of CHF treatment based on parameters of quality of life in CHF patients during and after the treatment with exogenous phosphocreatine (EP).Material and methods  The effect of a single course of EP treatment on quality of life of patients with functional class (FC) II-IV CHF with reduced or mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction was studied as a part of the all-Russia prospective observational study BYHEART.
