Effect of a Telemonitoring-Facilitated Collaboration Between General Practitioner and Heart Failure Clinic on Mortality and Rehospitalization Rates in Severe Heart Failure: The TEMA-HF 1 (Telemonitoring in the Management of Heart Failure) Study

Abstract

Telemonitoring-facilitated collaboration between GPs and a heart failure clinic reduces mortality and number of days lost to hospitalization, death, or dialysis in CHF patients. These findings need confirmation in a large trial.
