Abstract
“Does advanced heart failure mean that there is no hope for my medical condition?” “Is it true that I not only have heart failure, but advanced heart failure? What does that mean?” These are only a sampling of numerous comments we have received from surveys our advanced heart failure clinic periodically sends out to patients. It is not uncommon when I meet patients for the first time in the office that I see their eyes stare at my white coat reading the label “Advanced Heart Failure.” Thus, from the beginning, we are fighting an uphill battle to help patients and families understand their heart condition. “Advanced Heart Failure” conveys a sense of despair that not much can be done to help them. The truth of the matter is a lot can be done.
