NCT ID NCT05839067
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week telephone program where veterans with heart failure work with a nurse to solve problems related to their health. The goal is to improve self-care, reduce symptoms, and support mental well-being. Researchers will follow 100 veterans from across the U.S. for up to 18 months to see if the benefits last.
