Contemporary Post-Discharge Management in Heart Failure at Home
This study aims to assess whether patients with acute heart failure (HF) can achieve the same level of HF-therapies by digital follow-up at home as compared to hospital visits according to the STRONG-HF strategy. Patients admitted to hospital with acute HF will be enrolled and randomized to either follow-up at the hospital out-patient clinic or digital follow-up at home.
• Hospital admission within the 72 hours prior to screening for acute HF.
• NT-proBNP ≥ 1,000 pg/mL measured during the hospitalization
• Systolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg and of heart rate ≥ 60 bpm within 24 hours before randomization
• Serum potassium ≤ 5.0 mEq/L (mmol/L).
• ≤ ½ the optimal dose of ACEi/ARB/ARNi or beta-blocker or MRA.
• Written informed consent to participate in the study.
