Abstract
A rapidly ageing population implies an increasing demand for informal caregivers. Caregiver-reported outcomes (CROs) can provide valuable insights into caregivers’ experiences of their own health, the burden of tasks, and the need for support. This scientific statement provides a comprehensive overview of CROs in populations with cardiovascular diseases (CROsCVD). The existing CROs measure impact of caregiving; caregiver skills and preparedness; caregiver emotional and psychological impact; and caregiver support. The integration of CROs into clinical practice, alongside the development of more specific and culturally adaptive tools, will enhance the recognition of caregivers as key stakeholders in CVD management.
