Evaluating a noninvasive tissue sensor to detect cardiogenic shock earlier in heart patients
Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Using NIRSense Sensor Patch to Measure Microvascular Perfusion Responses and Predict Decompensation in Cardiogenic Shock Patients
Run by NIRSense Inc. · NCT07825363 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This pilot, noninvasive study tests whether the NIRSense wearable can help detect deterioration in adults with cardiogenic shock risk due to heart attack or heart failure.

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.

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 * Admitted to the intensive care unit and currently in SCAI stage B, C, or D * Age 18 years or older * Weight greater than 40 kg Exclusion Criteria: * Prior known severe allergy to medical-grade adhesive or tape (self-reported) * Currently participating in an investigational drug or device study that would interfere with the conduct or results of this study. Trials requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational. * The investigator believes the participant is not an appropriate candidate for the study
