No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of monitoring hemodynamic changes, which result from heart failure exacerbations, by recording the respiratory effort, chest wall dynamics and quantifying the development of dyspnea by using miniature mechanical sensors that are attaches to the chest.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

"Pneumedicare"s monitoring system.

50 patients hospitalized due to the decompensated HF are considered for entry. 3 patches will be attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors. The system will be attached to the patients at the start of treatment. Patient's signals will be recorded during the entire treatment in the hospital, to the point that there is an improvement in their health condition.

DEVICE

"Pneumedicare"s monitoring system

Non invasive clinical follow-up of patients with HF deterioration and improvement, by a device-based algorithm. The system comprises of patches attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors (Accelerometers) that measure the chest wall dynamics and the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation.
