CardioStory device in helping tell heart failure from other causes in people with shortness of breath

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study enrolled adults presenting to the emergency department with new or worsening dyspnea. Data were collected from standard clinical care, including medical history, physical examination, labs, and echocardiography, plus noninvasive cardiovascular measurements from the CardioStory device. The goal is to see if CardioStory measurements can improve identification of heart failure versus non-cardiac causes of dyspnea. No intervention beyond routine assessment and CardioStory measurements is performed. Results will inform the device’s potential role in acute care decision-making.
