Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 or older with acutely decompensated heart failure or acute myocardial infarction requiring ICU care and SCAI stage B–D, able to wear the sensor patches.

Probably not a fit

Patients without deterioration or who do not experience measurable perfusion changes may not derive a detectable benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This prospective, single-center observational pilot study uses a wearable sensor system that combines near-infrared spectroscopy and photoplethysmography with ECG/ICG to continuously monitor tissue oxygen saturation and related metrics in adults with acute myocardial infarction or acute decompensated heart failure and SCAI shock stage B–D. Data from the sensor will be compared with standard care hemodynamic measurements and the patient’s clinical course to see if trends can signal deterioration earlier. Enrollment is up to 20 participants admitted to the cardiac ICU at Cleveland Clinic Florida and will last about 24 to 72 hours per participant during routine care. The device is investigational and non-significant-risk, and the study follows a prospective data-collection design without intervention. The goal is to assess feasibility and potential for earlier recognition of cardiogenic shock in a high-risk population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the sensor could enable earlier detection of deteriorating perfusion and prompt treatment adjustments.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests noninvasive perfusion monitoring can aid in recognizing instability, though this exact sensor approach is investigational.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Acutely decompensated symptomatic heart failure (HF) documented by: (a) symptoms of HF requiring current treatment; (b) Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) stage B, C, or D; and (c) hospital admission with HF as the primary or secondary diagnosis; OR acute myocardial infarction (MI) patient undergoing coronary angiography
