Heart failure has become a real public health problem impacting both the hospital system and the outpatient sector. In constant evolution, the therapeutic armamentarium has been enriched with new molecules, making treatment more effective. Optimal management of patients suffering from heart failure are multileveled and require a multidisciplinary team. The team consists of the in-charge general physician, a cardiologist, a trained nurse in therapeutic education, and optimally a dietician and/or physiotherapist. A limiting step towards the efficiency of patient management is the communication skills of the network.
