Multimorbidity and Treatment-Related Outcomes in Older Heart Failure Patients

Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE The presence of multiple chronic conditions, or multimorbidity, in older adults with heart failure substantially increases the complexity of their care, and increases the risks of hospitalization and death. In our study, we will examine treatment patterns and the net benefits versus harms of selected therapies in patients with heart failure and multimorbidity. The results of our research will be highly generalizable to the broad spectrum of older adults with HF managed in “real-world” practice settings.
