Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The rate of recurrent events of HF readmissions

    Entire follow-up period (Expected average of 6.5 months)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Time from discharge until the first event of HF readmissions

    Time to event (from discharge until the date of first event of HF readmissions, assessed up to 6.5 months)

  • Proportions of total days lost to hospitalization due to HF events

    Entire follow-up period (Expected average of 6.5 months)

  • Time from discharge until all-cause mortality

    time to event (from time of discharge until the date of first event of HF readmissions, assessed up to 6.5 months)

Study Arms (2)

ReDS Guided Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

After discharge from hospital, patient will perform daily ReDS measurement. Data is automatically transmitted to the secured web portal. Treating physician will follow up on patients' measurements through a secured dedicated web site. Notification messages will be automatically sent by the system to the physician if certain thresholds are crossed (thresholds are physician adjustable). Medications will be adjusted according to defined guidelines. During the study a service center will monitor and support patient adherence and investigators attending to patients' notifications.

Device: Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) Wearable System

Standard of Care- Control arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After discharge from hospital, patient will be followed up and medically managed according to standard of care guidelines.

Device: Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) Wearable System

Interventions

The ReDS device provides noninvasive measurement of lung fluid content. It comprises a wearable vest with embedded sensors and a bedside console, with touch-screen display. A measurement reading is provided within 90sec. Results are shared with the treating physician via a secured web portal.

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient has signed informed consent and authorization to use and disclose health information.
  • Patient's physical condition enables him to sit up and lay down with minimal assistance.
  • Diagnosis of HF, with preserved or reduced LVEF, was made at least 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Patients with LVEF \<40% must have been treated at least 30 days prior to enrollment with diuretics and beta-blocker (unless intolerant or contra-indicated) and an ACE-inhibitor or ARB (unless intolerant or contra-indicated).
  • Patient is hospitalized for ADHF requiring significant alteration in heart failure treatment (i.e. diuretics or vasoactive drugs) or up to 10 days post-discharge from an ADHF admission.
  • BNP ≥ 350 pg/ml (NT pro BNP \> 1400 pg/ml) at enrollment (within 24h) and/or ≥750 pg/ml any time during the hospital stay (NT-pro BNP \>3000 pg/ml).
  • Note that if a patient is enrolled during a clinic visit rather than during a hospitalization, then the BNP from the index admission is referenced.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient has had a cardiac transplantation or VAD implantation.
  • CRT implantation within 90 days prior to screening or planned implantation during study duration.
  • Diagnosis of Severe Pulmonary Hypertension.
  • Chronic renal failure with CrCl\<25mL/min, as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
  • Chronic home IV therapy or cardiac inotropes or diuretics
  • Physical deformity in the thorax area or lesion that may prevent proper vest application or adjustment (Severe scoliosis/ sensitive sternotomy lesion etc.).
  • Illness/ Condition which may be aggravated or cause significant discomfort by the application of the vest (Rib fractures, with or without flail chest, Severe Osteoporosis).
  • Impaired cognitive ability or any other state that may prevent full compliance with the study protocol, according to investigator's assessment.
  • Patient's habitus out of range due to one or more of the following:
  • Height less than 155cm or higher than 195cm (5.1; 6.4 feet respectively).
  • Congenital heart malformations or intra-thoracic mass that would affect the right lung anatomy (Dextrocardia, Lung Carcinoma etc.) including pacemaker box on the right side of the chest.
  • Severe COPD, defined as chronic and continuous home use of O2 (O2 dependancy) and/ or oral steroids. Continuous is defined as 24hours a day, every day.
  • Severe disease / conditions with life expectancy \<6 months according to investigator's assessment.
  • Patient is enrolled in another interventional study with permission of study manager (observational or registries are not excluded).
  • Patient HF is managed remotely with another monitoring device or program (for example: Pulmonary/ Lt Atrial pressure monitoring, Weight scale, BNP or bioimpedance).
