Effect of a Telemedicine Model on Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction in a Resource-Limited Setting in Vietnam: Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) is a complex, life-threatening condition marked by high morbidity, mortality, reduced functional capacity, poor quality of life, and substantial health care costs. HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) represents the subgroup of HF with the highest risks of mortality and hospitalization, necessitating the prioritization of care and management models to optimize treatment outcomes in these patients. Currently, data on the effectiveness of telemedicine models in resource-limited settings, such as low- and middle-income countries, are scarce.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine on improving prognosis in patients with HFrEF in Vietnam.

Methods

In this prospective cohort study, we recruited patients who receiv
