NCT ID NCT07391683
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured telemedicine program before heart surgery can reduce complications in people with heart failure. The program includes education, medication adjustments, remote monitoring, and supervised exercise. Researchers will compare outcomes like death, need for life support, and ICU stay between the telemedicine group and standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telemedicine-assisted prehabilitation program (education, medication optimization, monitoring, exercise)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new standard of care to help heart failure patients have safer heart surgery and recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (162 people) and the program is complex, so it may be hard to tell which part helps. Results may not apply to all patients.
