Association of race and gender with primary caregiver relationships and eligibility for advanced heart failure therapies.
Caregiver support is considered necessary after heart transplant (HT) and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Few studies have demonstrated how caregivers differ by gender and race, and whether that impacts therapy eligibility. In this study, the investigators examined caregiver relationships among 674 patients (32% women, 55% Black) evaluated at Emory University from 2011 to 2017.
