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.
About half of people with heart failure also struggle with depression, anxiety, or stress—but most heart failure clinics don't routinely address mental health. This study is testing whether a new tool called FRAME (which stands for Foundation, Recognition, Awareness, Management, and Engagement) can be successfully added to heart failure care. Researchers want to see if this tool helps patients feel better and if it's practical for doctors and clinics to use.
Right now, heart failure care and mental health care are often separate, even though they're deeply connected. This study exists to close that gap by testing whether the new treatment can help clinics recognize and support the mental health needs of people living with heart failure.

You will start by completing a survey about your health and well-being. Then, in April 2026, you'll receive the FRAME tool via email, which you can access online to help you and your care team recognize and manage the connection between your heart health and mental health. You may also be invited to share your thoughts about the tool through an optional interview. The study is designed to understand whether this approach is practical and helpful for patients like you.
