More than 22 million people worldwide have heart failure, a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body. Today, Medtronic, Inc. announced the first worldwide enrollments in the MORE-CARE trial, which will compare two disease management strategies for heart failure patients treated with an implantable device for cardiac resynchronization therapy. MORE-CARE aims to demonstrate that remote monitoring of these patients via the Medtronic CareLink Network is superior to in-office visits alone, in terms of clinical effectiveness and healthcare system utilization.
