It's Time to Talk: Challenges in Providing Integrated Palliative Care in Advanced Congestive Heart Failure.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite evidence that palliative care may improve symptom control and quality of life in patients with advanced congestive heart failure, a multitude of current challenges hinder access to these services. Education, early discussion of prognosis and advance care planning, and multidisciplinary team-based care may be a helpful initial approach as further targeted work addresses these challenges.
