What are the long term effects of a management programme for heart failure?
Mejhert et al. (2004) conducted a study to evaluate the limited long-term effects of a management programme for heart failure. The results of the study indicated that there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups in terms of mortality, readmission rates, level of functioning, or quality of life, suggesting that there were limited long-term effects of the management programme. Furthermore, the study showed that the management programme had a positive effect on the control of symptoms and that the effects were maintained over a three-year period.
