Check fluid levels with a special sensor in hospitalized heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a noninvasive device (ReDS) to estimate fluid buildup in people hospitalized with acute heart failure. It may help doctors monitor fluid status and guide care more accurately during a hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in the hospital for acute heart failure (fluid overload symptoms)
- Your blood test shows high heart-failure marker levels (NT-proBNP ≥ 400 or BNP ≥ 100)
- Your body size fits the ReDS sensor limits (height 155–190 cm and BMI 22–39)
- You are not being discharged on certain heart-support IV medicines, and you do not have a heart pump or transplant
- You do not have major lung-related anatomy issues, kidney failure on dialysis, another ongoing randomized study, or a life expectancy under 12 months

This study tests a wearable device that measures fluid in the lungs to help guide treatment for acute heart failure. It may help doctors better manage your condition and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath.
This study tests whether a wearable device that monitors your heart and transmits data to your doctor can help optimize your heart failure medications after hospitalization. The goal is to prevent future hospital visits and improve your health by keeping closer tabs on how your body responds to treatment adjustments.
This study tests whether a small wireless sensor can safely measure and track pressure in the left upper heart chamber in people with advanced chronic heart failure. It may help the care team better understand pressure changes that are linked to fluid buildup and symptoms, alongside your usual heart medicines.
This trial tests a home monitoring system called Cardiosignal to help manage heart failure after an emergency room visit. It may help doctors adjust your treatments to keep you healthier at home.
This study tests a small chest sensor that tracks your heart activity while you're in the hospital. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and prevent future crises.
