Engaged supporters can help persons with chronic HF to overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers to self-care and help them develop sufficient expertise to avoid repeated hospitalization.
Abstract
Engaged supporters can help persons with chronic HF to overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers to self-care. Research is needed to understand the effects of excessive daytime sleepiness on HF self-care.
