Are You Living With Heart Failure? Share Your Views on New Stem Cell Therapies
What this study is about
We want to hear YOUR views about proposed stem cell therapies for heart failure.
- New treatments: Scientists are working on stem cell therapies to help hearts work better.
- Your voice matters: Before testing begins, we want to know what people with heart failure think.
- Just a chat: This is a one-time, private interview. It takes 60–75 minutes. No treatment or medical tests are involved.
- Shape the future: Your views will help researchers plan better studies and improve how they talk about new treatments.
Think of this as a chance to have your voice heard in the future of heart failure care!
