ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility and efficacy on the outcome of patients with heart failure of integrated disease management program with heart failure clinic, patient education and telephone follow-up.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 145 hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure and LVEF ≤ 45% or patients with LVEF > 45% and NT-proBNP > 1500 ng/L were divided into conventional group (n = 71) and interventional group (n = 74). Patients were followed for 10 to 12 months.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Baseline clinical characteristics, LVEF and dose of evidence-based medicine were similar between the 2 groups. During follow-up, the NYHA functional class was higher in conventional group than interventional group (3.2 ± 0.5 vs 1.4 ± 0.5, P < 0.05), and the LVEF deteriorated in the conventional group and improved from 34% to 40%in the interventional group. The proportions of self-monitoring of weight, blood pressure and pulse rate in the interventional group were significantly higher than those of conventional group (P < 0.05). Among patients with systolic heart failure, 40% patients in the interventional group and 11% patients in the conventional group achieved the target doses of β-blockers (P < 0.05). Cardiovascular event rate of conventional group and interventional group is 91.5% and 27.0% respectively (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Integrated disease management program with heart failure clinic, patient education and telephone follow-up can improve patient compliance to heart failure treatment, improve cardiac function and reduce cardiovascular event rate.</p>
