Heart failure: what keeps patients from getting the help they need?
NCT ID NCT05417490
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some heart failure patients choose to join programs that help coordinate their care after leaving the hospital, like the PRADO-IC program or telemedicine monitoring. Researchers will follow 700 patients in France to see what factors—such as social, cultural, or geographic—affect participation. The goal is to understand how to make these programs more effective for everyone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal which factors help or hinder heart failure patients in using care coordination programs, potentially improving how these programs are offered.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test a new therapy, and results may not apply to all heart failure patients.
