Summary

Lack of recognition of HF danger signs and lack of understanding of how to control and minimize danger signs could lead to their escalation and prompt all-cause and HF-related health care resource utilization (HCRU). Investigators hypothesize that patients must understand HF danger signs to have self-confidence in recognizing them and in taking steps to minimize or eliminate their occurrence post hospital discharge. Investigators will determine if video education in HF danger signs recognition and control prior to discharge (and post-discharge) reduces all-cause and HF-related HCRU.
