Nurse-led Multidisciplinary Precision Care for Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

August 3, 2023 updated by: Xiuxian Zhu, Zhongshan People's Hospital, Guangdong, China
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a nurse-led multidisciplinary precision care in early cardiac rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure, and further to promote the application of nurse-led multidisciplinary precision care.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Enrolled patients were randomly divided as 1:1 ratio to experimental group and control group, while experimental group received nurse-led multidisciplinary precision care and the control group received standard care according to guidelines. The primary and secondary outcomes were evaluated and analyzed.
