A Randomized Trial of Home Telemonitoring in a Typical Elderly Heart Failure Population in North West London: Results of the Home-HF Study

Abstract

Home telemonitoring in a typical elderly population of heart failure patients produces a similar outcome to 'usual' specialist care, but reduces clinic and emergency room visits and unplanned heart failure rehospitalizations at little additional cost. This method of disease monitoring may allow specialist services to increase the number of patients under their care.
