Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Although interventions combining patient education and postdischarge management have demonstrated benefits in patients with chronic heart failure, the benefit attributable to patient education alone is not known. The investigators hypothesized that a patient discharge education program would improve clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure.
