Nurse Check-Ins boost heart valve recovery, study finds
NCT ID NCT05179278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether having a nurse talk with patients before and after a heart valve procedure could improve care. About 194 people took part. The nurses helped prepare patients and checked on them afterward, either by phone or in person. The goal was to see if this extra support could shorten wait times, boost satisfaction, and lower complications.
