Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time until all-cause death or heart-failure hospitalization

    This is a composite outcome, measuring time from randomization to occurrence of death due to any cause or a hospitalization that is adjudicated to be due to heart-failure, among participants who experience either (or both) of these events. Only the first occurrence of either of these events is considered.

    Measured over the two years of study follow-up.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Progression of heart failure

    Measured over the two years of study follow-up

  • Quality of life

    Measured over the two years of study follow-up

  • Health care costs

    Measured over the two years of study follow-up

  • Time until all-cause death or all-cause hospitalization

    Measured over the two years of study follow-up

Interventions

Self-ManagementBEHAVIORAL

18 in-person group sessions providing self-management training.

18 educational mailings follow by a a telephone call.
