ELEVATE-HF (Heart Failure) - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to test an experimental technology that is being developed to help people monitor their symptoms and manage their care after a hospitalization for heart failure. We want to know how well the study technology, which is a virtual cardiology care application, works compared to the typical approach for helping people with heart failure manage their care after they're released back home from the hospital.
Acute or Decompensated Heart Failure
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Adults ages 18+ who:
- Are currently hospitalized for acute or decompensated heart failure; OR
- Were released from the hospital within the past 14 days after an inpatient stay for acute or decompensated heart failure

What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to either use the study technology at home or manage your care using the typical approach.
If you are assigned to use the study technology, we will give you 4 devices to use for measuring your weight, blood pressure, oxygen level, and your heart's electrical activity. The data collected by these devices will be sent to the technology's creator, Ventricle Health, where it will be used by their clinicians to adjust your medications, if necessary.
Your participation in the study will last for about 4 months. You may be meeting virtually with a cardiologist and other health care providers that are new to you. The cardiologist may adjust your medications. The medicines used in the study will all be prescribed for heart failure and no investigational medications will be used in the study.
