Background: Heart failure (HF) is a risk factor for stroke among people with atrial fibrillation (AF). Prognosis following a HF diagnosis is often poor, but this is not accounted for in existing stroke risk scores.
Aim: To examine stroke incidence in people with HF and AF compared to AF alone, considering the competing risk of death.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify research priorities in advanced heart failure (HF) through a partnership involving patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
- A systematic approach using the James Lind Alliance method was employed, starting with surveys to gather questions from stakeholders, refining them down to the top 10 important research areas.
- The final priorities highlighted aspects such as quality of life, psychological support, and the impact on caregivers, revealing significant differences in priorities between physicians and patients.
