Telemedicine support for heart failure medication adjustment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether remote check-ins via phone or video can help safely increase heart failure medications to target doses. You'll use a device to share weight, blood pressure, and heart rate with your doctor, who will adjust your medicines based on how you're doing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Recently diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (a weakened heart pump)
- Age 18 or older
- Not yet started on heart failure medications, or only on one medication for another reason
- Able to use phone/video calls and share vital signs via a device, or have a caregiver who can help
- Not currently in the hospital or too unstable to manage from home
- Expected to live at least 12 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether checking in remotely (telemonitoring) helps doctors adjust heart failure medications more effectively. It is for people newly diagnosed with heart failure who have reduced pumping strength and signs of fluid buildup.
This trial tests whether using a remote monitoring platform to help manage medications improves outcomes in people with heart failure and reduced pumping function. It compares this approach to standard follow-up care.
This trial will test a remote education program for people with heart failure. You'll get video calls and learning materials to help manage your condition from home.
This trial tests a new way of caring for heart failure that combines in-person clinic visits with at-home monitoring using digital tools. If you join, you may be able to have more of your check-ups from home, which could be more convenient and help your care team catch problems early.
This trial checks whether follow-up by telemedicine after a hospital stay for heart failure can help patients after discharge. It may help you stay connected to care without frequent in-person visits.
