Brief summary
The aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of collecting respiratory parameters during recompensation following ADHF (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure)with non-invasive measurements. This could lead to a better understanding of how respiratory parameters may change during re-compensation therapy and could also be a comfortable method for patients.
Detailed description
The study is designed as a single-center, open, interventional, observational study according to clause §23b of the German Medical Device Act (MPG). The study will recruit 50 patients suffering from cardiogenic pulmonary congestion and edema including ambulant patients and patients of intensive care. We will investigate whether respiratory parameters during re-compensation are related to the therapy effects and changes in pulmonary congestion status. This study will collect data in an observational and clinical setting in the re-compensation phase of ADHF. Correlation between measured lung and respiratory parameters and standard clinical parameters characterizing stages of re-compensation will be undertaken. Standard clinical parameters may include diuretics and other cardiac medication dose frequency, weight, heart rate, respiratory rate, chest x-rays (when routinely performed), symptoms such as shortness of breath or fatigue, biomarkers such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), stroke volume, cardiac output, and oxygen requirements.

For example, severe unstable chronic lung disease such as obstructive (FEV1/FVC ≤ 30%), or restrictive (FVC \< 50% predicted) lung disease, neuromuscular disease, cancer, or renal failure 4. Unable to use PAP therapies due to physical issues (e.g. facial structural abnormalities) or cognitive issues (e.g. dementia) 5. Participants in whom positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is medically contraindicated. 6. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic ≥200 mm Hg/diastolic ≥120 mm Hg) 7. Pregnancy 8. Lactation 9. Implanted pacemaker / Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) / implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) except for Medtronic devices with Opti Vol Algorithm 10.

Hypertrophic 13. Primary mitral valve stenosis 14. Patients requiring more than 50% supplemental oxygen or patients requiring more than 4 lpm oxygen 15. Patients with persistent ventricular arrhythmias (Premature ventricular coupling, periods of ventricular tachycardia) 16. Patients chronically classified (prior to admission) as New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV or American Heart Association Class D heart failure 17. Patients with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<30 or obligatory dialysis 18. Resting respiratory rate \>30 breaths per minute 19. Patients requiring mechanical ventilation or patients with an artificial airway (endotracheal or tracheostomy tube) 20. Patients with carbon monoxide toxicity 21. Patients with severe sepsis (defined as also an organ dysfunction due to an infection according to the Guidelines of the German Association of Sepsis, February 2010)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation between current standard clinical assessment of re-compensation and measured respiratory parameters | about 3 months | stationary as well as ambulant patients with acute decompensation receive clinical standard measurements and will be measured with the help of non- invasive technology such as respiratory profile and gaz analysis, bioimpedance spectroscopy. Patients will be measured at baseline and 2 times at ward if applicable and at 3 months follow up visit. Measurements will take 1:30 hours per visit. |
