Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes in older (60-80 years) advanced heart failure (HF) patients who undergo heart transplantation (HT) or mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as a permanent implant (i.e., destination therapy \[DT\]) and their caregivers. Our study will contribute to better patient-centered care of older advanced HF patients and their caregivers, by informing decision making and guiding strategies to enhance post-operative HRQOL.
Primary Outcome
To determine whether older advanced HF patients who undergo DT MCS, as compared to patients who undergo HT, experience non-inferior change in overall HRQOL (primary outcome) and HRQOL domains (physical, mental, and social \[secondary outcomes\]) from baseline through 2 years after surgery.
