Blood test aims to keep heart failure patients out of the hospital
NCT ID NCT02963272
Summary
This study tested whether giving doctors the results of a specific blood test (ST2) could help them better manage patients hospitalized for heart failure. The goal was to see if using this information could reduce the number of patients who need to be readmitted to the hospital within one month. Researchers compared outcomes for patients whose doctors had access to the ST2 test results versus those whose doctors did not.
