Summary

This study tests a program called CHAT for people aged 60 and older with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. Participants get up to four sessions with a health coach and watch seven educational videos, all from home. The goal is to see if this helps them manage their condition better and improves their quality of life. The study will enroll 50 people and track changes over 90 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: health coaching sessions and educational videos
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a simple coaching program helps people with heart failure take better care of themselves at home.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 50 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It tests a behavioral program, not a new drug, so the impact is likely modest.
