Consistently Assess Signs and Symptom of Heart Failure

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Heart Failure, Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction, Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

In brief

Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification by a HF provider helps to guide their decisions in patient treatment. The purpose of this study is to further examine the NYHA Classification Guide that is designed to assist healthcare providers. The investigators will conduct the study in the outpatient clinic setting where adult patients with chronic heart failure are treated. HF providers will be asked to complete the NYHA classification Guide and then participants will complete a standardized 6-minute walk test which is considered as the gold standard. Participant results will be compared between providers' assigned class and the results from the 6-minute walk test. The subsequent phase of the study will be incorporation of the NYHA Classification Guide into clinical practice. HF providers will use the NYHA Classification Guide for 30 days in the clinic setting and will report their perceptions.
