Several randomized studies have documented that nurse-led heart failure (HF) clinics improve quality of life in HF patients and reduce hospitalizations and costs [1]. These findings have inspired cardiologists to initiate nurse-led or multidisciplinary HF programs. There are few quantitative data concerning the prevalence and design of HF clinics [2], thus, the extent to which HF patients are offered treatment in such clinics and
