We evaluated characteristics, diagnostic patterns, healthcare resource utilization, and outcomes. Patients were categorized according to baseline (the latest measure prior to or within 90 days post-diagnosis) as having HF with reduced EF (HFrEF), mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF), or preserved EF (HFpEF). The data encompassed a 2 year period before diagnosis and up to 5 years post-diagnosis. A total of 3227 patients were diagnosed with HF between January 2010 and November 2019. The mean follow-up time was 2.6 [\u00b11.9 standard deviation (SD)] years. The mean age at diagnosis was 74.8 (\u00b112.7 SD) years, and 1469 (45.5%) were female. HFpEF was the largest cohort (46.6%, npEF = 1505), HFmrEF constituted 16.1% (nmrEF = 520), and HFrEF 18.5% (nrEF = 596) of the population, while 18.8% (nu = 606) of patients remained unassigned due to insufficient evidence to support categorization. At baseline, measurement of natriuretic peptide (NP; brain NP and N-terminal pro-B-type NP) and echocardiographic report data were available for 592 (18.3%) and 2621 (81.2%) patients, respectively. A total of 2099 (65.0%) of the HF cohort had access to a cardiology-led outpatient clinic prior to the HF diagnosis, and 602 (18.7%) attended cardiac rehabilitation post-diagnosis. The 5 year crude survival rate was 37.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) (35.2\u201340.7%)], 42.3% [95% CI (38.0\u201347.2%)], and 45.5% [95% CI (41.0\u201350.4%)] for HFpEF, HFrEF, and HFmrEF, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Low survival rates were observed across all HF groups, along with suboptimal rates of NP testing and specialist assessments.
