Special clinics aim to keep heart patients out of hospital
NCT ID NCT04505007
Summary
This study tested if sending patients with heart failure and an implanted defibrillator to a specialized clinic run by a nurse practitioner leads to better health than standard care. The goal was to see if this extra support helps patients take their heart medications more consistently, which could improve heart function and reduce trips to the hospital. Researchers compared outcomes like heart strength and hospital visits between patients in the special clinic and those receiving usual care.
