Testing a wireless sensor to monitor left heart pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be diagnosed with heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy) and heart failure for at least 6 months
- Have moderate symptoms at baseline (NYHA class II or III) and be on an appropriate, stable heart-failure medication plan for at least 3 months
- Have had at least one heart-failure hospitalization or urgent emergency visit in the last 12 months due to fluid overload that needed IV water pills
- Have high BNP or NT-proBNP blood test levels within 90 days of starting the study
- Be age 22 to 88 and be able to do the required heart scans/tests and follow-up visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a wirelessly implanted device that measures pressure in the left upper heart chamber (left atrial pressure) in people with advanced heart failure. By tracking that pressure, researchers hope to better understand disease status and guide care.
This trial tests a new device called V-Lap that is placed in the heart to monitor pressure. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and reduce hospital stays. Researchers want to see if it works well in people with mild to moderate heart failure.
This study tests a small sensor placed in a vein to help monitor and manage heart failure. The sensor tracks fluid buildup in your heart and may help doctors adjust your treatment to keep you feeling better and out of the hospital.
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 looks at how a small monitor inside the blood vessel to the lungs helps manage heart failure. It aims to improve care for people with advanced heart failure.
This study checks how safe a small heart-pressure monitoring device is for people with advanced heart failure and severe kidney problems. It looks at whether doctors can continuously track heart filling/pressure to help manage symptoms and reduce risks.
