Early Heart Failure Screening in the Emergency Department
This study is looking at ways to identify people at risk for heart failure before they show symptoms. Researchers want to see if using a bedside ultrasound (POCUS) along with health education helps people understand heart health better and encourages them to make healthy changes like improving diet and exercise, and following up with their doctor. You might be able to join if you are 45 or older and have high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity. The study will compare an educational session alone to an educational session that also includes a POCUS scan. The main goal is to see if POCUS increases follow-up with a primary care doctor after three months.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 100 participants. It compares two groups: one receiving education alone and another receiving education plus a bedside ultrasound.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either an educational intervention alone or an educational intervention combined with a point-of-care ultrasound. Follow-up will occur at three months post-intervention.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed up for three months after the intervention to check on their primary care follow-up rate.
