Authors' conclusion

Remote HF management using seated mPAP and vital signs in NYHA functional class III patients is safe and results in a low rate of HF hospitalizations and mortality over 12 months.

Study context

Population
Heart failure (HF) patients with NYHA class III symptoms, irrespective of EF, and recent HF hospitalization and/or elevated natriuretic peptidesmodified ITT cohort
Participants
456 patients
Comparison
Remote HF management with seated mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) vs performance goal
  • Cordellan = 456

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

HF hospitalization or all-cause mortality rate (prespecified, powered, secondary effectiveness endpoint) · 12 months

12-month event rate (events/patient/12 months)

0.36 (95% CI: 0.31-0.42)

Significantly lower than performance goal of 0.70 (0.36 vs 0.70)

P < 0.0001

Safety

Device/system-related complications and pressure sensor failures · 12 months

Device/system-related complications (none beyond 6-month primary results)
0.8%
Pressure sensor failures (none beyond 6-month primary results)
0.2%
