Supports daily symptom monitoring in HF; hypothesis-generating for edema as dyspnea target.
Observational (n=48)
p-value: p=<0.001
Heart failure patients can effectively monitor daily symptoms, revealing a significant positive correlation between self-reported dyspnea and edema.
Webel et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=48). Daily symptom monitoring (dyspnea, edema, body weight) was evaluated on Daily associations between self-reported dyspnea, edema and body weight (p=<0.001). Daily self-reported dyspnea had a significant positive association with perceived edema (p<0.001) in heart failure patients over 30 days.
