Effectiveness of Video Monitoring and Care Transition for Heart Failure Patients (EVIT-HF): Randomized Clinical Trial

Effectiveness of Video Monitoring and Care Transition for Heart Failure Patients (EVIT-HF): Randomized Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the effectiveness of video monitoring associated with the transition of care for patients with heart failure.

The main questions it aims to answer is: Is video monitoring superior to monitoring via audio calls in patients with heart failure?

Researchers will compare monitoring by video to a monitoring by audio to see if drug videomonitoring works to improve selfcare in heart failure and other outocomes.

Participants will:

intervention group receive video calls guided by cardiologist nurses at 7, 30, 60, 180 and 365 days after hospital discharge.

the control group will receive audio calls for data collection, at the same time mentioned.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged 18 years or older;
• Admitted for decompensated HFrEF
• Ejection fraction less than 40% confirmed by echocardiogram performed in the last 3 months
• Who access to a mobile device with internet access

Exclusion Criteria:

• heart transplant waiting list;
• who had undergone coronary artery bypass in the last 3 months ;
• who were in palliative care;
• who had a life expectancy of less than 1 year
