Telemedical monitoring of patients with chronic heart failure has a positive effect on total health costs

Heart Failure Impact of Remote Telemedical Management on Mortality and Hospitalizations in Ambulatory Patients With Chronic Heart Failure The Telemedical Interventional Monitoring in Heart Failure Study

Background—This study was designed to determine whether physician-led remote telemedical management (RTM) compared with usual care would result in reduced mortality in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure (HF). Methods and Results—We enrolled 710 stable chronic HF patients in New York Heart Association functional class II or III with a left ventricular ejection fraction Յ35% and a his...

Impact of remote telemedical management on mortality and hospitalizations in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure: the telemedical interventional monitoring in heart failure study.

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine whether physician-led remote telemedical management (RTM) compared with usual care would result in reduced mortality in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 710 stable chronic HF patients in New York Heart Association functional class II or III with a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% and a h...

Exercise training has restorative potential on myocardial energy metabolism in rats with chronic heart failure

Objective(s): Exercise training is a well-known accelerator for the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). The current study aimed to investigate the restorative effects of aerobic interval training (AIT) intervention on myocardial energy metabolism in CHF rats. Materials and Methods: Post-myocardial infarction (MI) heart failure animal model was established. The Sprague-Dawley rats were ran...

The Effect of Self-Management Training Using CD on the Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) can have negative effects on the quality of life (QoL). Self-management education is one of the approaches that can be adopted to increase the QoL of these patients. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-management training using compact disc (CD) on the QoL in patients with CHF. Methods: This study was a non-randomized controll...
