Run by Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg · NCT06977477 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a remote monitoring device can help people with heart failure keep track of their fluid levels and improve their treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with HFpEF who have been hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure and require intravenous diuretics.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with cardiogenic shock, recent acute myocardial infarction, or those with chronic kidney disease may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The MAGIC-HF clinical trial aims to improve the management of congestion in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) through daily remote monitoring. Participants will use the CardioMEMS™ device to measure pulmonary artery pressure and a smart scale to assess body water levels. This prospective, multi-center study will collect data over six months to evaluate the relationship between pressure and volume in managing fluid buildup. The goal is to enhance early detection of decompensation and optimize treatment strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to better management of heart failure symptoms and reduced hospitalization rates for patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of combining pressure and volume monitoring is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in improving heart failure management.
