Paramedics at your doorstep: a new way to manage heart failure at home
NCT ID NCT06874556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether having a specially trained community paramedic visit people with heart failure at home can reduce hospital stays and emergency visits compared to standard care. About 75 adults with worsening heart failure will take part. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life, keeps patients out of the hospital, and is practical for long-term use.
