Asian Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Registry (ASIAN-HF Registry)
The ASIAN-HF registry is a multinational study that investigated the burden and risk factors of heart failure in Asian populations by examining various health and socio-cultural factors. The study began in 2012 and included over 6,000 patients with heart failure, aged 18 and older, from 46 medical centres across 11 countries. Participants were followed up for 2 years, with over 4,000 remaining at the end of the follow-up period.
