Name of journal: Heart failure reviewsAbstract: In this document, we outline the challenges faced by patients and clinicians in heart failure, specifically centered around the needed coordination of care among the various subspecialties within cardiovascular medicine. We call for a more organized and collaborative effort among clinicians in primary care, general cardiology, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, cardiac imaging, and heart failure-all caring for mutual patients. Care is contextualized within the framework of two phases: a cardiomyopathy phase and an advanced heart failure phase, each of which lends to different considerations in therapy. Ultimately multidisciplinary coordinated care within cardiovascular medicine may lead to greater patient and clinician satisfaction as well as improved outcomes, but this remains to be investigated.All authors: Abicht T, Chien CV, Cole RT, Colombo PC, D'Souza B, Garan AR, Herr JJ, IDEAL-HF, Kapur N, Lala A, Ravichandran AK, Sheikh FH, Silvestry S, Srivastava A, Tong MZ, Yoo DFiscal year: FY2021Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2020-12-29
