Read our Heart Failure research guide →This research study is testing whether a simple questionnaire called the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire can help doctors spot when heart failure is getting worse before patients need to go to the hospital. You will fill out this short survey every two weeks for one year and have periodic heart scans and blood tests. The goal is to see if this questionnaire can give an early warning sign that your condition is changing so your doctor can step in sooner.
Heart failure episodes that get worse are dangerous — they can lead to hospitalization or even death. Right now, doctors don't have a reliable way to catch these worsening episodes early enough to prevent serious complications. This study is exploring whether a patient-friendly questionnaire can be that early warning system.

For one year, you will complete a brief questionnaire about your heart failure symptoms every two weeks — this can usually be done from home. You'll visit the clinic at the start, then again at 3, 6, and 12 months for heart ultrasounds, a six-minute walking test, and blood work. The study team will track any heart failure events or hospitalizations that happen during this time to see if changes in your questionnaire scores predicted them.
