Read our Heart Failure research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new way to deliver palliative care — comfort-focused support — to people with advanced heart failure. A specially trained nurse will regularly reach out to monitor your health concerns and match you with the right support based on your specific needs, while you continue seeing your regular heart doctor. The goal is to help you feel better, manage worries and symptoms early, and reduce urgent hospital visits.
Many heart failure patients don't get palliative care support until problems become serious, even though early, proactive help can prevent crises and improve quality of life. This trial is testing whether having a dedicated nurse who actively monitors and supports you can fill that gap and make care better for both patients and their families.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either the new nurse-led support or usual care from your cardiologist alone. If you receive the new support, a palliative care nurse will regularly contact you to check on your symptoms and concerns, help you manage them, and connect you with resources as needed. You will also complete surveys about your quality of life, mood, and ability to cope at the start and several times over 24 weeks. Your caregiver (a family member or loved one helping you) may also participate and complete surveys about their own wellbeing.
