Monitoring and Self-management of Sleep Fatigue and Dyspnea

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Heart Failure Patients

In brief

African Americans have the highest risk for developing heart failure. When African Americans are diagnosed with heart failure (AAHF) it is usually more advanced HF compared to other races. African-Americans have the highest rate of hospitalization for HF compared to any other ethnic groups. Thus, life style modification, awareness of signs and symptoms of HF by continuous, rather than intermittent monitoring, is essential in beginning to develop HF interventions that can provide early detection. Early interventions would lead to reduced re-hospitalization, prevent hospital readmission and reduce the mortality rate associated with HF.
