Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation in Heart Failure

Implementing a Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Among Rural Patients With Heart Failure

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This study evaluates a mobile health (mHealth) home-based cardiac rehabilitation program for patients with heart failure. We will stratify randomization between rural and urban populations, with the goal to assess implementation of cardiac rehabilitation across these two geographic areas. . The study will randomize 332 patients with heart failure (ejection fraction ≥35%) who are not eligible for center-based rehabilitation to either a 12-week mHealth cardiac rehabilitation program or an attention control group, with outcomes measured over 6 months using a composite endpoint of mortality, hospitalizations, and quality of life. We will then assess the implementation of the intervention.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Adults aged 18 years or older - History of hospitalization for acute heart failure with ejection fraction ≥ 35% - Ability to participate in telemedicine visits - Access to smartphone or device capable of running the mHealth application - Willingness to participate in home-based cardiac rehabilitation program Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (ejection fraction \< 35%) - Inability to participate in physical exercise or cardiac rehabilitation due to medical contraindications - Inability to provide willing to sign a consent form - Lack of access to required technology (smartphone, internet connectivity) - Life expectancy less than 6 months - Inability to participate in telemedicine visits or remote monitoring - Current participation in another cardiac rehabilitation program Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DEVICE

Movn app

Participants will have 12-week home-based exercise program delivered via a commercially available home-based cardiac rehabilitation platform called Movn. The plan includes an accelerometer, blood pressure scale, and mobile application.
