NCT04398654

Brief Summary

Randomized, parallel group controlled study examines the effect of supporting the Heart failure supply through pulmonary arterial (PA) pressure measurement with the CardioMEMS™ HF system to hard endpoints, safety and quality of life. The target population consists of heart failure (HF) patients who have been predominantly in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Stage III for the past 30 days and at least once in the past 12 months for HF were admitted to hospital. All patients receive basic care, which is based on structured telephone contact (between the care center, patient and family doctor) to optimize guideline compliant therapy. In the intervention group a PA pressure sensor is (CardioMEMS™-HF Sensor) implanted. These patients are structured by specially trained non-medical personnel aftercare with additional inclusion of the PA pressure values: adjusted to the basis of the information collected in PA monitoring the therapy is optimized. The follow-up period until the primary endpoint is 12 months.

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Monitoring and therapy adjustment within the scope of the basic care described in the clinical trial plan.

Intervention Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

As in control group. In addition, in the intervention arm the CardioMEMSTM HF sensor implanted.

Device: CardioMEMSTM HF sensor - pulmonary artery pressure measurement

Interventions

CardioMEMSTM HF sensor implantation to meassure pulmonary artery pressure. Evaluation of the pressure curves by telemetric transmission and coordination of necessary adjustments of the therapy.

Intervention Group

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Written consent received from the patient or a legal representative after the in-formation has been provided.
  • ≥≥ 18 years of age.
  • Predominant symptoms in NYHA Stage III in the 30-day period prior to consent to the study.
  • Objectified HF diagnosis for more than three months.
  • Able to tolerate dual antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulation therapy for one month after sensor implantation
  • In patients with preserved LVEF (\>40%; diagnosed within 6 months prior to inclu-sion) comorbidities must be treated in accordance with guideline-compliant medi-cation.
  • Chest circumference (measured at axillary level) of less than 165 cm if BMI \>35 kg/m2.
  • Willing and mentally and physically able to meet the requirements for follow-up and long-term basic care (this includes the long-term willingness of the patient, and of their relatives where relevant, to participate in PA pressure-based monitor-ing).
  • Appropriate domestic situation, defined as being accessible by telephone (via fixed or mobile network) .
  • For the intervention group: Implantation is only performed if the diameter of the pulmonary artery branch intended for implantation is ≥7 mm (assessment will be made during the right heart catheterization)

You may not qualify if:

  • Enrolment in another study with an active treatment arm.
  • Severe cardiovascular event (e.g. myocardial infarction, open heart surgery, stroke, CRT implantation) in the 2 months prior to admission
  • Therapy-refractory heart failure in ACC/AHA stage D or new therapies that have taken place or are planned in the next 12 months (e.g. implantation of a left ven-tricular assist system / transplantation)
  • Active infection.
  • History of recurrent (\>1 episode) pulmonary embolism and/or deep vein throm-bosis.
  • Continuous or intermittent chronic inotropic therapy.
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<25 ml/min
  • Life expectancy (according to the study physician's assessment) \<12 months.
  • Severe, unrepaired congenital heart defect that would prevent implantation of the sensor.
  • Severe valve vitium with planned intervention in the next 3 months
  • Presence of a mechanical right heart valve.
  • Mental disorder that presumably (in the opinion of the study physician) has a negative impact on patient compliance or consent.
  • Failure of the coordinating physician to approve if the patient is enrolled in an HF disease management program or comparable case management program.
