Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of VAD Care App in an out-patient mechanical circulatory support program. The specific aim for this pilot study is to obtain preliminary efficacy data of the VAD Care App as a self-management tool for patients with long-term LVADs. A randomized control trial will be employed to establish preliminary estimates of the effects of the App on the following outcomes: self-efficacy and adherence to the LVAD care regimen; LVAD-related complications and health care utilization \[e.g., hospital re-admission\]; overall health status and quality of life. The duration of the study is 6 months.

Primary Outcome

Measured with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. A self-administered instrument consisting 23 items yielding a minimum and maximum values of 0 to 100 (overall summary score). Higher scores mean a better quality of life (i.e., a better outcome).
