New tool aims to help heart failure patients get the right meds
NCT ID NCT07670845
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based tool called SHARE-HF that helps heart failure patients and their doctors make medication decisions together. The tool shows personalized prognosis and medication options. Researchers will compare clinics using the tool to those with usual care, involving 1350 adults with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in British Columbia, Canada.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHARE-HF decision aid (web-based tool)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this tool could help more heart failure patients receive the right medications, potentially improving their health and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic implementation study, not a test of a new drug. The tool may not significantly change medication use, and results may vary across clinics.
