| Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire | The KCCQ-12 is a validated health status measure for patients with HF. It contains four subdomains: Physical Limitation, Symptom Frequency, Quality of Life, and Social Limitations. Each subdomain provides an individual score from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the worst and 100 the best possible health status. The mean of the four subdomain scores are presented as a summary score, with differences of 5 points or greater considered to be clinically important. | 1 Year |
| EQ-5D | The EQ-5D-5L is a widely used health status measure with two parts. The first part evaluates health across five dimensions: MOBILITY, SELF-CARE, USUAL ACTIVITIES, PAIN/DISCOMFORT, and ANXIETY/DEPRESSION, each with five response levels. This generates a health state profile, which can be assigned a summary index score based on societal preference weights, or "utilities," for calculating QALYs in health economics. Scores range from less than 0 (death or worse) to 1 (full health), with higher scores indicating better health utility. The second part of the questionnaire is a visual analogue scale (VAS) where patients rate their perceived health from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health). | 1 Year |
| FACIT-Sp-12 | The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp-12) is a 12-item scale designed to measure spiritual well-being in individuals with chronic illnesses. Possible scores range from 0 to 48, with higher scores reflecting greater spiritual wellbeing. | 1 Year |

In the early phase after the diagnosis of HFrEF, self-monitoring of the blood pressure, pulse rate, and body weight at home, enhancement of the knowledge and self-awareness of the disease, and regular outpatient follow-up and health education are key elements in improving adherence to pharmacotherapies; and improving quality of holistic health care, including physiological, psychological, and social aspects.
