Summary

• We are conducting a study for participants with heart failure aged 45 to 80.
• We will conduct a number of clinical assessments, to better understand and monitor changes in your standard of care over a period of time, and gather your perspectives on routine diagnostic procedures and disease monitoring as well as your feedback on the design of heart failure trials. Your feedback could potentially enhance the design of future heart failure studies.
• You will have the opportunity to gain insight into the processes involved in conducting a typical heart failure clinical trial.
• You will be reimbursed for your time and effort in this study.

If you are interested in participating in this observational study:

• You will need to attend an in-person visit, we will perform tests and clinical assessments. For example, we will take blood, measure your vital signs, check the activity of your heart and carry out a physical examination. The assessments can be spread over multiple days (if required).
• In addition to the above, we will monitor changes in your standard of care over a period of time, gain your perspectives on standard of care and routine diagnostic procedures, and your feedback on the design of heart failure studies.
• You will have a follow-up telephone call with a doctor after the initial visit to discuss the results of the assessments.
• This means that the whole study will take approximately 18 months and in total, you will come to the unit at least 4 times.
