You are being asked to participate because you have lived or living experience (as a patient, caregiver, or health care professional) of heart failure.
Your heart and your brain are intimately connected. People with heart failure may experience changes to their brain, their thinking, or their mental health. We call these the ‘brain implications’ of heart failure. What limited information we know about the connection between heart failure and its ‘brain implications’ is driven by researchers’ questions. We have not yet considered the questions of those who are directly affected.
The purpose of this project is to engage patients, caregivers and health care professionals in identifying Brain-HF research priorities. Our goal is to produce a top 10 list of research questions that people with heart failure, their support networks (families, partners, friends) and health care professionals agree are the most important for research to address on the ‘brain implications’ of heart failure. We will share these research priorities to funding agencies, health care leaders, and partner organizations to ensure targets for future brain-heart failure research in Canada are relevant, representative, meaningful, and have the potential for real impact among those who are directly affected.
