Heart failure is a progressive disease that significantly impacts patient quality of life. Patients with heart failure value quality of life highly, often prioritizing it over survival. Durable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) represents an opportunity to improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In this chapter, we review the approaches to measure HRQOL in patients with MCS, and the anticipated changes in HRQOL after MCS therapies are instituted. We also discuss outstanding challenges in identifying patient groups at risk for suboptimal outcomes and the interventions that may address this problem.

摘要

Heart failure is a progressive disease that significantly impacts patient quality of life. Patients with heart failure value quality of life highly, often prioritizing it over survival. Durable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) represents an opportunity to improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). In this chapter, we review the approaches to measure HRQOL in patients with MCS, and the anticipated changes in HRQOL after MCS therapies are instituted. We also discuss outstanding challenges in identifying patient groups at risk for suboptimal outcomes and the interventions that may address this problem.
