Abstract

Quality of life (QoL) is a therapeutic goal in heart failure. There are many EBM therapies for improving QoL. In this study, data is presented on new pharmacotherapies and devices that impact QoL in the heart failure population.

Keywords: quality of lifeheart failurepharmacotherapydevices
