NCT03608826

Brief Summary

The purpose of the ReLINQuish study is to characterize the relationship between subcutaneous impedance and hemodynamic measurements in patients with heart failure. Additionally, the relationship between changes in subcutaneous impedance and other physiologic parameters during acute decompensated HF events will be characterized.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Comparison of Reveal LINQ™ Subcutaneous Impedance (Units of Ohms) With Pulmonary Artery Pressure (Units of mmHg) From a Swan-Ganz Catheter During Right Heart Catheterization Procedures in Patients With Heart Failure.

    The primary objective was to characterize the relationship between changes in Reveal LINQ™ subcutaneous impedance and right heart hemodynamic measurements, resulting from: 1) short-term drug and/or exercise challenges during right heart catheterization procedures or 2) long-term daily trends of physiologic data, in patients with heart failure.

    18 months

  • Comparison of Reveal LINQ™ Subcutaneous Impedance (Units of Ohms) With Right Atrial Pressure (Units of mmHg) From a Swan-Ganz Catheter During Right Heart Catheterization Procedures in Patients With Heart Failure.

    The primary objective was to characterize the relationship between changes in Reveal LINQ™ subcutaneous impedance and right heart hemodynamic measurements, resulting from: 1) short-term drug and/or exercise challenges during right heart catheterization procedures or 2) long-term daily trends of physiologic data, in patients with heart failure.

    18 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Characterization of the Changes in Reveal LINQ™ Subcutaneous Impedance (Units of Ohms) Prior to Any Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Events.

    18 months

  • Characterization of the Changes in Reveal LINQ™ Activity (Units of Hours Per Day) Prior to Any Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Events.

    18 months

Study Arms (1)

Single Arm Study

EXPERIMENTAL

Invesigational RAMware will be downloaded onto the LINQ device.

Device: Investigational LINQ™ HF RAMware

Interventions

The Reveal LINQ™ device and the 2090 programmer are market-released, but once the investigational LINQ™ HF RAMware is downloaded into the devices, they are considered investigational.

Single Arm Study

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients meeting at least 1 of 3 criteria will be included in the study:
  • Patients with symptomatic systolic or diastolic heart failure who in the clinician's judgment have a high likelihood of undergoing serial right heart catheterizations to aid in clinical management of their heart failure
  • Patients with dyspnea on exertion in whom exercise hemodynamics is indicated to diagnose diastolic dysfunction
  • Patients who have or will be implanted with a pulmonary artery pressure monitor
  • Patient is 18 years of age or older
  • Patient (or patient's legally authorized representative) is willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol, including follow-up visits and Carelink transmissions.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient has an existing Medtronic implantable cardiac device
  • Patient has a left ventricular assist device (LVAD)
  • Patient is pregnant (all females of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 1 week of enrollment)
  • Patient is enrolled in another study that could confound the results of this study, without documented pre-approval from a Medtronic study manager

Limitations and Caveats

No right heart catheterization was performed during the study, hence the primary outcome could not be summarized. The LINQ device data was not available prior to the acute decompensated heart failure events, hence the secondary outcome could not be summarized.
