Summary

This completed study tested whether a telehealth program, including a heart monitor and regular phone check-ins, could reduce symptoms and improve self-care and quality of life in 160 adults who had coronary artery bypass surgery. Participants were randomly assigned to either the telehealth program or usual care. Researchers measured symptom distress, self-care behaviors, and quality of life before discharge and during follow-up visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Telehealth program using QOCA EKG device and telephone interviews
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote monitoring and coaching after heart bypass surgery helps patients manage symptoms and improve their daily lives.
What could go wrong
This is a completed, moderate-sized trial (160 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, not a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
