NCT ID NCT06074887
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study investigates whether a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program, tailored to each patient's readiness to change, can improve self-care, quality of life, and confidence in people with heart failure. The program involves home visits and phone counseling over 12 weeks. Researchers compare outcomes between a group receiving this personalized training and a control group receiving usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transtheoretical model-based cardiac rehabilitation training
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer a practical, home-based program to help heart failure patients better manage their condition and improve daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 63 participants, so results may not apply to all heart failure patients. The program requires multiple home visits, which may not be feasible for everyone.
