Brief Title

Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy in Chronic Heart Failure

Brief Summary

      After the encouraging results of 6 months of Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy in Patients
      With Chronic Heart Failure and Coexisting Growth Hormone Deficiency (NCT00591760) the
      investigators wanted to collect data about the long-term efficacy and safety of this kind of
      therapy.
