Background: Clinical trials often include patients from large hospitals or university clinics. Information on patients cared for at offices from statutory health insurance-accredited physicians represent evidence gaps.
Aims/Objectives:
The present study has three aims: First, to systematically describe the patient population of a large group practice for internal medicine. Second, to identify high-risk patients using established risk scores. And third, to include routine imaging data to optimize patient management.
Methods/Facility Enrolling Participants: This is a prospective, observational study assessing patients' baseline characteristics, risk evaluation and integrating data from imaging test. The setting of the present study is a large group practice for internal medicine which consists of statutory health insurance-accredited physicians. Study participants will be included during daily routine, real-world clinical care and therefore represent all-comers fulfilling the inclusion criteria:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline characteristics | To describe the baseline characteristics (age, weight, height, routinely assesses laboratory parameters such as creatinin, thyroid hormones, liver enzymes, lipids) of patients with heart failure in a community based internal medicine practice. | Baseline/time of study inclusion |
| Risk evaluation | Describe risk according to risk scores (the CHADS-VASC Score, the EU- TIRADS score, the ASCVD risk score, FIB-4 Score ) | At baseline and as available during routine clinical follow-up, up to 10 years (no formal follow-up visits/time frames)) |
| Quality of care evaluation | Describe achievement of individual treatment targets according to current guidelines (Lipid targets, bloodpressure targets) | At baseline and as available during routine clinical follow-up, up to 10 years (no formal follow-up visits/time frames) |
