Portable chest device for detecting lung fluid in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a small, portable device worn on the chest that measures changes in fluid levels in your lungs to help detect early signs of fluid buildup (pulmonary congestion). This could help people with heart failure avoid emergency hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure.
- You have had a hospital stay or emergency visit for heart failure with fluid buildup in the lungs in the past 12 months.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other electronic device in your chest.
- You are not currently pregnant (if you are a woman of childbearing age).
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form, and you are not currently in the intensive care or coronary care unit.

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 new way to manage fluid buildup in patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It uses a simple, non-invasive tool (‘bioimpedance’) to help doctors better balance your fluids, which could help you feel better and recover faster.
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 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 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.
