Remote monitoring to adjust heart failure medications
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether checking in remotely (telemonitoring) helps doctors adjust heart failure medications more effectively. It is for people newly diagnosed with heart failure who have reduced pumping strength and signs of fluid buildup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have shortness of breath and at least one sign of fluid overload (like fluid on lung X-ray, crackly breath sounds, leg swelling, or high neck vein pressure).
- A blood test (NT-proBNP) done during this hospital stay shows a high level (above 300, or 600 if you have atrial fibrillation).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is below 40%.
- You are not currently in the hospital for heart failure caused by a blood clot in the lungs, stroke, or recent heart attack.
- You haven't had major heart surgery or a heart device placed in the last month, and none is planned.
- You can use basic electronic devices and have mobile network access where you live.

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 trial tests whether remote monitoring of your implanted heart device can help your doctors better manage your heart failure. It is for people with certain types of pacemakers or defibrillators who are willing to share their device data remotely.
This trial is testing a special monitor (BIOMONITOR) that tracks your heart function and sends data wirelessly to your doctor. It aims to help manage heart failure by catching early signs of trouble so you can get treatment sooner.
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 trial tests if a smartphone app or similar remote tools can help doctors catch early signs that heart failure is getting worse in people who have a defibrillator (ICD) or biventricular pacemaker (CRT) that sends data to the clinic. Participating helps researchers figure out if this type of check-in from home works better than standard care.
This trial tests a virtual “heart failure clinic” and home heart monitoring to help people manage symptoms and outcomes. It may help by catching problems earlier and guiding safer self-care between doctor visits.
