Checking medication adherence in heart patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients with atrial fibrillation or heart failure take their heart medications while in the coronary care unit. By understanding this, doctors can better support patients to stay on track with their treatment.

This study looks at whether patients with severe heart failure follow their prescribed medications as recommended by treatment guidelines. The researchers want to understand what helps or prevents patients from taking their medicines correctly, which could improve their heart function and symptoms.
This study tests whether family-focused coaching and easy-to-read materials can improve heart failure medication adherence. It also uses an electronic pillbox to track how consistently you take your meds, with your care partner involved.
This study tests a program that uses WeChat messages to help people with atrial fibrillation remember to take their blood-thinner medication. The goal is to see if reminding people to think about future benefits (things they look forward to) improves how regularly they take their medicine.
This trial compares a procedure called ablation (using cold, heat, or electric pulses to fix irregular heartbeats) with standard medications to see which better treats heart failure in people who also have atrial fibrillation. It may help if your heart's pumping ability is reduced and you still have symptoms despite medications.
This study looks at whether taking the recommended heart failure medications and seeing their effects can help you stick with treatment and feel better. It aims to improve your quality of life.
This trial is testing a new approach to care for older adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who also have other health conditions. It aims to see if a more integrated, team-based care plan helps improve their overall health and quality of life.
