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 trial tests a new device that measures fluid in your lungs without needles or surgery. It may help your doctor manage heart failure better, especially if you've been in the hospital recently or have symptoms like shortness of breath.
This study tests a wearable vest that measures fluid in your lungs without needles. It helps doctors adjust your IV diuretics (water pills) during a hospital stay for heart failure, aiming for more personalized treatment and faster recovery.
This study tests a remote monitoring device that sends information to your care team to help adjust your heart failure medications. It aims to improve your condition after a hospital stay for heart failure.
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 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.
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
