Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Heart failure is a major public health problem worldwide. Heart failure is one of the most common causes for hospitalizations among people over 65 years of age in the United States. Nationwide, approximately 25% of patients admitted to a hospital for heart failure are readmitted to a hospital within 30 days.Multiple transitional care interventions, including telemonitoring, aimed to decrease hospital readmission rates and improve quality of life in heart failure (HF) patients have been explored. Most studies evaluated effectiveness of telemonitoring used in conjunction with other interventions. In this study, investigators studied the role of a potentially cost-effective, telemonitoring program in reducing readmissions and improving quality of life among patients admitted with HF exacerbation in a teaching hospital. They aimed to determine impact of a standalone telemonitoring system. Primary outcome: Rate of hospital readmission for heart failure Secondary outcomes: Quality of life, Perceived effect of the intervention on heart-failure related care
