Brief Summary:
Applying modern technology of data collecting, monitoring, transmitting and analyzing in order to implement a novel (hybrid) model of comprehensive home-based cardiac rehabilitation in heart failure patients.
Detailed Description:
Heart failure (HF) epidemic is an aggressively developing phenomenon, stimulated by developing civilization and generating worrying economic and social effects. Early comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is an accepted method of preventing and treating adverse cardiac events, which allows for care cost reduction. In Poland, CCR availability is highly unsatisfactory (around 8%) and unacceptably varied (0.5-70%). With the existing organization and technical background, improving this situation seems impossible. Project objective: To apply telemedicine technologies to implement a novel model of home-based CCR in HF patients.
The program, performed in six centers, will comprise 850 HF patients (randomization 1:1), in NYHA class I-III, EF≤40%, clinically stable, after a hospitalization incident. The study group patients will undergo a 9-week rehabilitation program consisting of two stages: Stage I - preliminary (one week at stationary ward), Stage II - main (8 weeks of home-based telerehabilitation). The primary end-point (days alive and out of hospital) will be assessed during a 24-month follow-up in both groups. The project will enable early secondary prevention in the population of people with HF to be implemented. It will be achieved via:
* Novel concept - "From Hospital To Home"
* Novel technology - telemedicine
* Novel method of CCR implementation
