Abstract

Not all strategies for the management of chronic heart failure have been shown to be equally effective in improving outcomes, and the ideal programme has yet to be defined. The WHICH? trial sheds some light on whether a clinical, in-hospital or a home-based strategy of care is superior and cost-effective.
