9 All-Cause 30 Day Readmission Rates After HF Hospitalization

10 Major Problem: Most Days of Heart Failure Management Are Not Clinic Days What is the right signal at home? Shah M, et al Am Heart J 2005;149:

11 Weights are Not Sensitive at Predicting Heart Failure Hospitalization Weight Changes Before HF Hospitalization Chaudhry et al, NEJM 2007

12 More Intense Daily Monitoring of Weights and Symptoms Does NOT Improve Outcomes Tele-HF (NEJM 2010) 1653 patients randomized to telemonitoring or standard of care Daily weights, BP, and symptoms 29,163 physician calls to patients during 6 months End Point Telemonitoring (N = 826) Usual Care (N = 827) Death or Hospitalization # (%) 432 (52.3) 426 (51.5) Heart Failure Hospitalization # (%) 227 (27.5) 223 (27.0)

13 More Intense Daily Monitoring of Weights and Symptoms Does NOT Improve Outcomes TIM-HF (Circulation 2011) 710 patients randomized to telemonitoring or standard of care Daily weights, BP, and symptoms End Point Telemonitoring n=354 (%) Usual Care n=356 (%) All-cause readmission/death All-cause readmission All-cause mortality

14 Even The Experts Cannot Stop The Tides of Congestion With Current Heart Failure Management After 60 days out of hospital Post hoc analysis of 463 ADHF patients from DOSE-HF and CARRESS-HF trials Of patients decongested at discharge, 2/3 had clinical re-congestion by 60 days Lala, et al. for H-FAN HFSA 2013
