Summary

This is an open randomized clinical trial with two study arms. One group, receiving usual care for heart failure, will be compared to another group, receiving usual care plus active telemonitoring interference. When leaving the hospital, the usual care arm receives a document with a predefined medication scheme and advice for the general practitioner (like it is currently done in usual care). Besides the normal consultations at 2 and 5 weeks, no active interactions take place between the study nurse and the patient. The telemonitoring interference in the other study arm consists of an automatic blood pressure device and medication dispenser that transmit data to a central platform. During the first 12 weeks, the nurse of the call center will give incentive for medication up titration on the basis of the available data. Before up titration can be done, the patient needs to take blood pressure measurements 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the evening and at least 6 measurements a week.
