What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Heart failure (HF) in patients at risk is often overlooked, and when detected, there is a lack of early and effective preventive interventions. The WE-CARE-HF-CMR study, conducted in large cities/metropol areas in Germany ( \> 1.000.000 inhabitants), aims to close this gap by evaluating the feasibility of a mobile, telemedicinemonitored HF-screening approach combining cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), quality of life assessment and laboratory tests as key elements in asymptomatic patients at risk. WE-CARE-HF-CMR will provide a proposal for a comprehensive, contemporary screening approach for patients at risk to develop HF tailored to the needs of the target population. This will provide important new information on the prevalence of asymptomatic HF in at-risk patients in urban versus rural areas. The results of the study will be compared with the results from the "HERZCheck'' tr
