Heart Failure Clinical Trial
Patient Self Monitoring to Evaluate 30 Day Post Discharge Heart Failure Outcomes
Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the relative predictive ability of the derived monitoring instrument to determine post discharge instability and 30-day outcomes in patients discharged with HF. The primary hypothesis is that variables in the monitoring instrument, individually and combined, identify risk for 30-day outcomes. Clinical indicators of dyspnea, fatigue, orthopnea, dyspnea with exertion, daily weight, edema, heart rate, blood pressure, mental condition, medication adherence, and overall well-being will be reported by participants on a daily basis and considered indicators for 30-day outcomes of stability, re-hospitalization, or mortality.
