The ALLEVIATE-HF study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded, multi-site, interventional, investigational device exemption (IDE) pivotal study. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a patient management pathway that utilizes an integrated device diagnostic-based risk stratification algorithm to guide patient care in subjects with NYHA class II and III heart failure, and to demonstrate the safety of the Reveal LINQ™ system and procedure in the study population.
The study will utilize the market released Reveal LINQ™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor with an investigational ALLEVIATE-HF RAMware download. The study will enroll up to 900 subjects at up to 75 sites in the US. Subjects will be followed until the last enrolled subject is followed for 7 months or until the end of the study, whichever occurs first, or until time of study exit or death as applicable, but no longer than 36 months.

Safety of Patient Management Pathway - Proportion of PRN Medication Interventions With Associated PRN Medication Intervention Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
The proportion of PRN medication interventions with one or more associated medication intervention related serious SAEs as adjudicated by the independent Clinical Events Committee will be evaluated. The objective is met when the point estimate for the event rate is less than or equal to 0.05 (5%).
Time frame: From 6 weeks after installation of RAMware through the duration of follow-up for Intervention arm subjects, and from the conclusion of the 13-month randomized period through the duration of follow-up for Observation arm subjects, up to 3 years.
Efficacy of Patient Management Pathway - Hierarchical Composite of Cardiovascular Death, Heart Failure (HF) Events, Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and Change in Six-minute Walk Test Distance
The win ratio for the hierarchical composite endpoint, defined as Intervention arm wins divided by Observation arm wins, will be evaluated using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test. Analysis will include subjects with at least one "high" HF risk status during the analysis period (i.e. between 42 and 395 days post-randomization, to exclude the 6-weeks after the installation of RAMware and include data occurring prior to the 13-month timepoint). HF event, as adjudicated by the independent Clinical Events Committee, is defined as an event requiring invasive HF therapy (e.g. IV or subcutaneous diuretics/vasodilators/inotropes) or ultrafiltration, and includes events with or without hospitalization. The Clinical Composite Score is used as KCCQ measure. The primary efficacy objective is met when the win ratio is significantly larger than 1.0, with a p-value below 0.05.
Time frame: From 6 weeks after installation of RAMware to the end of the 13-month randomized period.
Safety of Reveal LINQ™ System and Procedure - Percentage of Subjects With Freedom From Experiencing System or Procedure Related Serious Adverse Events
Freedom from Reveal LINQ™ system and procedure related serious adverse events (SAEs) as adjudicated by the independent Clinical Events Committee will be evaluated. The objective is met when freedom from system and procedure related SAEs at 6 months is greater than or equal to 95%.
Time frame: From time of Reveal LINQ™ device insertion attempt to 6 months post insertion attempt.
Efficacy of Patient Management Pathway - Hierarchical Composite of Cardiovascular Death, HF Events, Change in KCCQ, Change in Six-minute Walk Test Distance, and Change in Device-measured Activity and Night Heart Rate
The win ratio for the hierarchical composite endpoint, defined as Intervention arm wins divided by Observation arm wins, will be evaluated using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test. Analysis will include subjects with at least one "high" HF risk status during the analysis period (i.e. between 42 and 395 days post-randomization, to exclude the 6-weeks after the installation of RAMware and include data occurring prior to the 13-month timepoint). HF event, as adjudicated by the independent Clinical Events Committee, is defined as an event requiring invasive HF therapy (e.g. IV or subcutaneous diuretics/vasodilators/inotropes) or ultrafiltration, and includes events with or without hospitalization. The Clinical Composite Score is used as KCCQ measure. The secondary efficacy objective is met when the win ratio is significantly larger than 1.0, with a p-value below 0.05.
Time frame: From 6 weeks after installation of RAMware to the end of the 13-month randomized period.
