Abstract

Heart Failure (HF) patients have an increased burden and intricate psychosocial and decision-making needs that demand the early integration of Palliative care (PC), in order to improve the outcomes and decrease health care utilization. However, in the current era, such care occurs late in the disease course and not too often in the outpatient setting. The purpose of this review aims to understand the current state of outpatient PC in HF.
