Conversations Helpful for Awareness of Illness Trajectory (CHAT)
The NIH-funded study, “Conversations Helpful for Awareness of Illness Trajectory” (CHAT), led by Dr. Parag Goyal, is a program dedicated to educating and counseling patients with HFpEF about how to best manage their condition. Beyond improving their knowledge, we hope to promote patient engagement and empowerment in managing symptoms and planning for the future. Once enrolled, participants are randomized to the CHAT Intervention or Standard of Care. Both participants randomized to the CHAT Intervention and Standard of Care will complete several surveys at baseline, 90 days, and 180 days.
