Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if there is a greater behaviour change in self management of heart failure following reinforced multimedia education focusing on physical activity as compared to standard care. It is the investigators belief that participants who receive DVD education in addition to usual care will show improved self management in comparison to receiving usual care alone. The investigators anticipate fewer hospital admissions due to improved self care management.
