Official title
Use of Animal-Assisted Therapy to Decrease Cardiopulmonary Pressures, Neurohormone Levels, and State Anxiety in Patients Hospitalized With Heart Failure
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Effects of complementary therapies on heart failure, a leading cause of hospitalization, are unknown. Animal-assisted therapy improves physiological and psychosocial variables in healthy and hypertensive subjects. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a 12-minute hospital visit with a therapy dog improves hemodynamics, lowers neurohormone levels, and decreases state anxiety in patients hospitalized with heart failure.
