Brief Summary

Heart failure is associated with high incidence and mortality rates, limited physical activity, decreased quality of life, and increased healthcare expenses. Implementing a Telehealth Care (TC) HF program could address these challenges while improving patient outcomes.

Detailed Description

Telemonitoring for heart failure patients reduces all-cause and cardiovascular mortality by enabling early intervention during clinical deterioration, improving outcomes even for those recently discharged. Moreover, a reduction in the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospital admissions is evident. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of telehealth care and telemedicine services during the COVID-19 pandemic optimized the management and care quality of heart failure patients through telemonitoring .
