About This Heart Failure Study in Avon

Ongoing self-care for heart failure is essential to avoid complications and hospitalization. Supportive strategies are needed; however, patients with heart failure may find many interventions complicated and overwhelming. The purpose of this pilot study is to implement a simple weight tracking tool (Wake and Weigh) to affect self-care and quality of life in a population of older adults with heart failure. This will be a randomized controlled pilot trial to test the methods to be used in a larger randomized controlled trial. The Self-care in Heart Failure Index and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire surveys will be given at admission and four weeks after discharge. The Wake and Weigh tool is designed to help patients track weight in the hospital and following discharge. Feasibility endpoints will be summarized descriptively.

Exclusion Criteria
