Care planning after hospital stays to reduce readmissions
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a care-coordination plan to see if it helps people leave the hospital and prevents them from needing to come back soon. It focuses on certain heart-related hospital diagnoses and, for some parts, also includes people with recent COVID-19.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can give informed consent
- You were recently hospitalized for acute heart failure (ADHF) or a recent heart attack (acute MI)
- For heart failure: you had symptoms plus objective heart/lung findings (like fluid in the lungs or blood test results such as BNP/NT-proBNP)
- For heart attack: you had symptoms (often chest/arm pain or shortness of breath) plus blood/ECG (heart tracing) changes and needed treatment
- You can attend follow-up visits reliably (the study team must consider you dependable for check-ins)

This trial tests a new care approach for people with heart failure who are in the hospital or emergency room and planning to go home. The goal is to see if it helps them recover and stay healthy.
This trial tests a program to manage heart failure at home after you leave the hospital. It aims to safely adjust your medications to optimal doses while you recover at home.
This trial looks at how persistent heart-related changes after a past COVID infection may be affected by study treatments. It mainly seeks people who are stable enough for follow-up visits and heart imaging, and who are not already on the specific heart medications required.
This study looks at hospital and emergency patients with heart failure and uses “omics” (advanced lab data from the body) plus statistics and artificial intelligence to predict who is likely to return to the hospital soon. If it works, it could help doctors better plan follow-up care to reduce repeat hospital visits.
This trial tests a home monitoring system called Cardiosignal to help manage heart failure after an emergency room visit. It may help doctors adjust your treatments to keep you healthier at home.
This trial tests a multidisciplinary care approach aimed at helping people with high risk for heart failure get diagnosed earlier. It may help you catch heart failure sooner if it starts, so treatment can begin earlier.
