Study Arms (2)

Subjects with CHF follow-up

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects with Hospital-Community-Family-Care Management Platform online and those with the clinic follow up.In the program, participants were educated on the use of smart health-tracking devices and mobile application (APP) to collect and upload comprehensive data elements related to the risk of CHF self-care management. They were also instructed to send text messages, view notifications, and receive individualized guidance on the mobile APP. The general practitioners viewed index of each participant on mobile APP and provided primary care periodically, and cardiologists in regional central hospital offered remote guidance and management if necessary. Outcomes assessed included accomplishments of the program, usability and satisfaction, engagement with the intervention, and changes of heart failure-related health behaviors.

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male and female are aged 18 years old or over.
  • History of CHF for ≥3 months with NYHA functional class I-IV, of which class IV without strict bed rest.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤45% as assessed by echocardiogram. However, LVEF can be above 45% for patients with cardiac insufficiency caused by atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and et al;
  • Treatment of CHF with stable and optimal pharmacological therapy according to Chinese guidelines for treatment of CHF. In general, optimal treatment will include a beta-blocker and an ACE inhibitor and/or an angiotensin receptor blocker, unless not tolerated. Medical therapy is defined as stable, if the subject has not started a new CHF drug class and the dose of drugs taken have not been changed during the 3 months prior to screening and randomization.
  • Ability to understand the requirements of the study and willingness to provide written informed consent (IC), and agreement to abide by the study restrictions and return for the required assessments.
  • Subjects are located in our coverage of the remote monitoring system.

You may not qualify if:

  • Some secondary cardiomyopathy: hyperthyroid heart disease and anemic heart disease, and et al;
  • A history of malignancy, and life expectancy is less than 1 year;
  • Severe primary hepatic and renal insufficiency (alanine aminotransferase≥100 u/L, serum creatinine \>3.0mg/dL, serum albumin \<2.5g/L);
  • Refusal to participate;
  • Unable to visit outpatient clinics periodically;
  • Ambulatory population;
  • Patients were considered inappropriate to participate by researchers.
