Many people with heart failure end up back in hospital with persistent symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath from fluid in the lungs and swelling in the abdomen and legs. The clinical trial, called VICTORY-HF, involves a remote monitoring system where patients track health data from their home, to be reviewed by their care team. Regular remote visits occur between the patient and care team to optimize medical therapy. More people are surviving cardiac events like heart attacks and the number of people with heart failure is also on the rise.
