Heart Failure Therapeutic Area User Guide v1.0


Published Date:

Version 1.0 of the Heart Failure Therapeutic Area User Guide (TAUG-HF) was developed under the CDISC Standards Development Process and describes the most common biomedical concepts relevant to heart failure, and the necessary metadata to represent such data consistently with Terminology, CDASH, SDTM and ADaM .

Therapeutic Area User Guides (TAUGs) extend the Foundational Standards to represent data that pertain to specific indications within disease areas. CDISC Standards and TAUGs specify how to structure the data; they do not specify what data should be collected or how to conduct clinical trials, assessments or endpoints.

CDISC posts public review comments and resolutions to ensure transparency and show implementers how comments were addressed in the standard development process.
