What this trial is about
Heart failure represents a growing public health problem within the UK and particularly within the North West of England. A major challenge is that heart failure is currently diagnosed too late. The researchers have previously developed a risk calculator that accurately identifies individuals at risk of heart failure admission or death before they have developed heart failure. Most risk calculators are never implemented into clinical practice. The researchers will l perform a pilot study to evaluate the risk calculator within primary care in Greater Manchester.
