Abstract
HHH (Home or Hospital in Heart failure) is an ongoing European Community multicountry study aimed at assessing 3 incremental home telemonitoring strategies against usual clinical practice in relation to rehospitalization, quality of life, mortality and cost-utility. Besides monitoring vital signs by means of an automatic interactive voice response system, this study will evaluate in the home setting a new system for long-term noninvasive cardiorespiratory monitoring, suitable to be self-managed by the patient, with transmission of acquired data through standard telephone lines.
