Patient-Reported outcomes in cardiology sector - Medical / Health Care

• Thanks to the improvement of treatments in cardiology, overall mortality rates have decreased whilst the demand for lifelong medication and monitoring has increased.
• Cardiologists have diverse patient cohorts under their care with a variety of acute and chronic conditions requiring long-term treatments and follow-up.
• PROs are increasingly supporting cardiology clinical practice and research to address current and future challenges.

PROs to support care and research

• PROMs provide valid and standardized data on all health domains, physical, mental and social.
• The additional information gained can not only improve patient care but also aid cardiovascular research.
• For this reason, the European Society of Cardiology recommends the implementation of PRO data in research and clinical practice.¹

Living well with chronic illness

• Patients not only want to live with their conditions but live well with them.
• For example, studies have highlighted that a good quality of life is a highly prioritized treatment goal for those with heart failure.²

Improving treatment outcomes

• PROMs can influence treatment outcomes.
• Studies have shown significant improvements in patient health following adjustments in medication contributing to side effects.³
• Accordingly, the authors recommend PRO monitoring for the dosage of cardiovascular drugs.

Learn more about how PROMs can enhance disease and treatment monitoring, and play a key role in the future of cardiology. In this publication, we cover the state-of-the-art findings and developments in Patient-Reported Outcomes for cardiology research and clinical practice.
