Study Summary
Patients with advanced heart failure (HF) typically experience significant burdens that negatively impact their quality of life. Although palliative care has been shown to improve patient outcomes in other serious illnesses, insufficient data exist to support its use in HF. Furthermore, the demand for palliative care in serious illness outstrips the available supply of certified palliative care clinicians. This pilot trial will assess the feasibility and acceptability of training cardiology nurses in basic palliative care skills and their ability to deliver this care alongside usual HF management.
