Abstract
While pain and/or physical discomfort has been reported in 40–70% of advanced heart failure (HF) patients in a variety of studies, we know little about the nature of pain in patients with HF, or the causes, location and consequences of their pain. PAIN-HF's purpose was to identify the prevalence of pain, its location, relation to other problems and possible causes in community-living patients with advanced HF. Methods: We surveyed 349 patients with advanced HF in outpatient clinics and hospice care settings regarding the presence, severity, nature, and location of pain.
