Abstract

Heart failure is a little-known disease which is both frequent and serious. It is particularly concerned by therapeutic education as it is linked to a high level of avoidable hospitalisations and requires daily monitoring of simple clinical parameters. It also imposes a change of lifestyle on the patient.
