MAGGIC risk score-based risk stratification for selecting patients with heart failure who will benefit from multidisciplinary care.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Guidelines worldwide recommend specialist outpatient clinics staffed by a multidisciplinary team for management of patients with heart failure (HF).
