Integrated care for frail patients with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special care program for people with both frailty (being weak or vulnerable) and heart failure (when the heart doesn't pump well). The program brings together different types of support to help you manage your health better after a hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are in the hospital because your heart failure symptoms have gotten worse, like shortness of breath, swelling in your legs, or fluid in your lungs.
- Your doctor has assessed you as frail, meaning you are more vulnerable to health problems (Clinical Frailty Score of 5 or higher).
- You and a family member or close friend are willing to take part in the study and sign a consent form.
- You can understand and speak Norwegian.
- You are not currently living in a nursing home and are expected to live for at least 6 more months.
