About this trial
Unicenter, proof-of-concept, prospective, randomised, controlled, open-label and blinded end-point adjudication trial to assess the effect on patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) and clinical events of a mHealth-based comprehensive management program for patients with chronic heart failure (HF) due to transthyretin-associated amyloidosis (ATTR)-cardiomyopathy (CM) by means of remote daily telemonitoring of signs and symptoms and remote structured follow-up using videoconference.

Treatments tested in this trial
mHealth
Procedure/SurgeryFollow-up and treatment of patients in the mHealth arm will be based on a comprehensive solution for the care and monitoring of chronic patients, modelled and tested in chronic HF patients. This is the PIRENe platform, previously described and evaluated in HF patients. It is a digital solution, external to the centre's information systems (external platform). However, it has some special features in its design in terms of remote monitoring, educational tools, among others, expressly conceived and designed for patients with ATTR-CM. This platform allows the provision of multichannel service and monitoring of patients through: 1. Patient monitoring of: Biometric data and symptom report. 2. Generation and management of warning alarms notified to the professionals assigned to each patient in case one of the following situations occurs. 3. Follow-up via videoconference.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Improvement of self-care using a validated scale (European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale).
changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) such as self-care European Heart Failure Self-Care Behaviour Scale) between patients followed and monitored using the mHealth-based digital tool (mHealth) and those in standard follow-up (usual care \[UC\]).
Improvement of quality of life using a validated questionnaire (EUROQOL - 5D).
Comparison of both strategies at the end of follow-up.
Secondary outcomes
Occurrence of new clinical events (readmission [all-cause, HF, CV and non-CV] rate and total number; worsening HF events; urgent HF visits; all-cause, CV and non-CV death).
Comparison of both strategies at the end of follow-up.
Incidence of implantation of devices (pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy [CRT] or implantable cardioverter defibrillator [ICD])
Comparison of both strategies at the end of follow-up.
Change of NYHA functional class
Comparison of both strategies at the end of follow-up.
Change of 6-minutes walking test [6MWT] distance.
Comparison of both strategies at the end of follow-up.
