Using a new device to monitor heart pressure in patients recovering from heart failure

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 study evaluates the Acorai Heart Monitor, a non-invasive device designed to measure intracardiac pressures in patients discharged from the hospital after treatment for acute decompensated heart failure. By placing the device on the patient's chest, it collects data on cardiac output and intracardiac pressures, which are crucial for predicting patient outcomes. The goal is to determine the feasibility of using this device to identify patients at risk of deterioration and to assess which data points best predict survival and major adverse cardiac events. This approach aims to provide a quick, easy-to-use monitoring tool that can be utilized by healthcare practitioners or patients themselves.
