Recognition of Heart Failure With Micro Electro-Mechanical Sensors (REFLECS)

Francois Haddad205 enrolled

Overview

The study will test the ability a novel wearable sensor based on a smartphone app (Precordior CardioSignal app) in combination with a sensor device (Suunto Movesense sensor) to non-invasively measure cardiac motion and function.

Heart Failure (HF) is a syndrome where the heart is unable to pump or fill adequately to meet the circulatory needs of the body. The main purpose of this study is to test the ability a novel wearable sensor based on a smartphone app (Precordior CardioSignal app) in combination with a sensor device (Suunto Movesense sensor) to non-invasively measure cardiac motion and function. The phone and sensor are positioned on the chest and echocardiography is used as a gold standard to assess cardiac mechanics including myocardial strain, cardiac torsion, diastolic filling characteristics, hemodynamics including pressure estimates and stroke volume.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Heart failure detection

Test the ability of the Precordior sensor to detect heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and pulmonary hypertension compared to control participants. An additional comparison will be made to individuals without signs, diagnosed, or suspected HF who will be undergoing CCTA due to suspected CAD.

Time frame: Baseline to Day 2

Secondary Outcomes

Detection of differences in myocardial mechanics between admission and discharge

The ability of the Precordior sensor to detect differences in myocardial mechanics as defined my myocardial longitudinal strain, hemodynamics and torsion analysis from admission and discharge.

Time frame: up to 2 weeks (during admission) and 2 to 14 weeks (during follow-up visit).
