Remote testing for diagnosing heart failure in rural areas
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help diagnose heart failure in rural areas using remote blood tests (telebiology) and video appointments (telemedicine). It combines these tools to make it easier for older adults in rural areas to get diagnosed and treated sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a simple screening tool to find early signs of heart failure in people aged 50 or older, especially those with risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure. If you're at risk, this could help catch heart problems sooner.
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 study tests a new program to help people living in rural areas manage heart failure at home. It includes three parts to support your health and daily life.
This study is testing a way to catch heart failure earlier by using a simple blood test (NT-proBNP) in primary care. If you have symptoms that might be heart failure, this test could help your doctor diagnose it sooner so you can get the right treatment.
This trial tests whether simple screening using a blood test (natriuretic peptides) plus an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) can find early heart failure sooner. Finding it earlier may help doctors start the right management to prevent it from getting worse.
This trial looks at how well a telemonitoring program works for people with heart failure. It checks if the eligibility rules used by the French health authority make sense.
