SHAPE Study group on Heart failure Awareness and Perception in Europe.
SHAPE
aims at improving heart failure care by increasing awareness and perception of
the disease in Europe.
To achieve this aim, heart failure will be profiled among the General Public.
Also, patients will be educated, as well as their families, those who treat
them and, indirectly, the Authorities that sanction treatment and should make
resources for improved care available.
SHAPE is a
Pan-European project carried out in 9 countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands
and The United Kingdom.
