Exploring virtual heart care for better heart failure recovery.

All
Phase N/A

This study tests a virtual cardiology program for people with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). ADHF means the heart isn't working well and causes sudden symptoms like breathing trouble. The study looks at how safe and effective this program is compared to usual care. The program offers heart health education, keeps an eye on your heart, and quickly changes your medications if needed.

  • The study is open to adults 18 and older who speak English and were recently hospitalized for ADHF.
  • If you are pregnant, have a history of heart transplant, are in hospice care, or have severe kidney problems, you cannot join.
  • The study involves virtual visits, so you won't need to travel often.

Joining this study may help manage your heart condition better. However, you should consider if you are comfortable with virtual care and if you meet the study requirements. Participation is voluntary, and you can leave the study at any time.
