This trial studies how to better assess and manage risk in people hospitalized with heart failure or related serious heart problems. It may help by improving how clinicians monitor your condition over time and decide next steps.
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.
This study uses simple heart tests and blood markers to sort people with chronic heart failure into different risk levels, which may help guide treatment. You may join if you have heart failure symptoms and certain test findings.
This study tests a new way to find people who might develop heart failure early, using electronic health records. If you are at risk, screening could help start care sooner and prevent serious problems.
This study asks heart failure patients who recently were hospitalized to answer regular questionnaires about how they're feeling. Researchers want to see if these questions can detect when heart failure is getting worse before a patient needs emergency care.
This study monitors heart failure patients after a hospital stay or urgent clinic visit to better understand the signs of worsening heart failure. It may help researchers find ways to predict and prevent future exacerbations.
