• The Principal Investigator determines that the provider is not eligible for this research study
  • Patient Interview Group:
• The patient is not willing to be interviewed
• The Principal Investigator determines that the proposed patient is not eligible for this research study
  • PROs/Clinical Data Integration Group:
• The Principal Investigator determines that the proposed patient is not eligible for this research study
  • A subset of subjects in this third group (PROs/Clinical Data Integration Group) will be invited to provide a blood sample for the purpose of examining the biological determinants of patient health status in HF, except the following:
• Patients who are not interested in providing blood samples
• Patients with contraindications to blood draws

• Eligible participants in the Provider Focus Group and Patient Interview Group:
• Male or female > 18 years of age
• Ability to understand and provide agreement to participation, which must be obtained prior to initiation of any study procedures
• Willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements and schedule of evaluations

  • The Patient Interview Group must meet the following additional criteria:
• Documentation of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (<50%) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (>50%)
• The patient is followed in heart failure clinic at Intermountain Medical Center or the University of Utah

• Ability to complete a telephone interview
  • The PROs/Clinical Data Integration Group must meet the following criteria:
• Male or female > 18 years of age
• Documentation of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (<50%) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (>50%)
• The patient is followed in heart failure clinic at Intermountain Medical Center or the University of Utah
• No other inclusion criteria are required for this group because study-required information will be obtained from electronic medical records and will not require direct patient contact.
  • A subset of subjects in this third group (PROs/Clinical Data Integration Group) will be invited to provide a blood sample for the purpose of examining the biological determinants of patient health status in HF, provided they meet the following criteria:
• Age > 18
• Documentation of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (<50%) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (>50%)
• The patient is followed in heart failure clinic at Intermountain Medical Center or the University of Utah
