A randomized trial of home telemonitoring in a typical elderly heart failure population in North West London: results of the Home-HF study

摘要

Aims Heart failure chiefly affects the elderly, with frequent emergency admissions. Telemonitoring can identify worsening heart failure but previous randomized trials have enrolled selected patient populations. The Home-HF study examined the impact of home telemonitoring on typical heart failure patients discharged from three acute hospitals in North West London, UK.
