Detailed description
A 60 day stratified, randomized clinical trial of a home-based telemonitoring system (TEP) vs. usual home-care with educational package (EP). Both Groups will receive intensive patient education and primary care physicians will be prompted to adhere to heart failure management guidelines. The study will be conducted on 100 patients receiving home care nursing services post-hospital discharge. Each participant will be randomized in equal amounts to treatment (TEP) or no treatment (EP).
