REMOTE HF-ACTION is a remote care program and research study powered by
“This single center randomized controlled trial will involve 50 medically stable outpatients with HF, reduced ejection fraction, and previously implanted ICD or CRT-D devices followed longitudinally on the Abbott Medical Merlin remote patient monitoring network. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to usual care plus a remotely administered home based weekly prescription for aerobic exercise (intervention) or usual care alone (control). Usual care will include regularly scheduled visits with the clinical heart failure care team and medical therapy as prescribed by that team. The exercise prescription will be created by an exercise physiologist after incorporating remotely collected data from a patient directed smartphone app assessing HF symptom severity, vital signs, weight, and blood sugar, implantable device measures of physical activity, heart rate, heart failure volume status and heart rhythm, and Fitbit measures of physical activity.” (Source: NCT04629066)
