Remote Dielectric Sensing Before and After Discharge in Patients With ADHF
- Randomised controlled trial
- investigator-initiated
- multicentre
- single-blind
- proof-of-concept
Authors' conclusion
A ReDS-guided strategy to treat congestion improved 1-month prognosis postdischarge in this proof-of-concept study, mainly because of a decrease of the number of HF readmissions.
Study context
- Population
- Patients hospitalised with acutely decompensated heart failure (HF)
- Participants
- 100 patients
- Comparison
- Remote dielectric sensing (ReDS)-guided decongestion strategy vs routine care
- Primary endpoint
- Composite of:
- Unplanned visits for HF
- HF rehospitalization
- Death
- Follow-up
- 1 month after discharge
