First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tested a new care plan for people hospitalized with acute heart failure. Instead of a long hospital stay, some patients went home after just a few days with extra support from medical and home care teams. The goal was to see if this shorter hospital stay with home follow-up is as safe as the usual longer hospital stay, and if it can reduce deaths and unplanned readmissions within 6 months.
