Testing the V-Lap system for heart failure monitoring
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with heart failure for at least 6 months.
- You have had at least one heart failure-related hospital stay or urgent visit in the last year.
- Your BNP or NT-proBNP levels are above a certain threshold, adjusted for your weight.
- You are on the recommended medications for heart failure and your doses have been stable for at least a month.
- You or your caregiver can use a smartphone or tablet for a health app.
- You are at least 22 years old and not pregnant.

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 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 device that treats and monitors heart failure. It may help people with chronic heart failure and reduced heart function who still have symptoms despite standard treatments.
This study tests whether a CardioPulmonary Management (CPM) system device used at home is safe and can improve outcomes for people with chronic heart failure. It may help manage symptoms and reduce complications, especially for higher-risk patients.
This study tests a new way to place a heart device lead to help the heart beat in sync for people with heart failure and a specific abnormal heart rhythm. The goal is to see if this method improves outcomes compared with standard treatment.
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.
