Detailed Description
Protocol Impedance HFpEF study Eligible patients are: older than 18 years, had a left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) > 45% with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-IV, and have been hospitalized for Heart Failure within 12 months of recruitment . The study requires optimal medical therapy for HF according to current guidelines. Patients have to be followed for at least 12 months. Exclusion criteria are: implantation of a cardiac resynchronization device within the preceding 3 months and the presence of advanced chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <25 mL/min per 1.73 m2). All patients provided written informed consent. Randomization is: 1:1 to the active LI-guided treatment arm where clinicians are unblinded to LI values and could base therapy on LI level during outpatient clinic visits. In the control arm LI values are recording but not conveying to the clinical treatment team. In the case of hospitalization, LI is also recorded but this information was not provided to the treating physician. However, once patients resumed in hospital care LI was again provided to the treatment team only if the patient is assigned to the actively LI-guided group.
Inpatient study protocol At each out hospital visit such parameters as: vital signs, weight, jugular venous pressure (JVP), leg edema (0-4 points according to the level of lower limb edema), extent of lung rales (0- no rales, 1- basilar rales, 2- up to 1/3 of the lower lung field, 3- up to 1/2 of the lower lung field, 4- rales beyond half of the lung field) and oximetry were recorded, and NYHA class assessed. Chest radiographs (CXR) were performed at hospital admission and discharge. JVP was graded according to a modified Evaluation Study of Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Effectiveness (ESCAPE) trial scale, i.e., maximal level of venous pulsation above sternal angle < 3 cm was defined as JVP= 0, a level of 3-5 cm as JVP= 1, 5-8 cm as JVP= 2, 8-11 cm as JVP = 3 and level of venous head> 11 cm as JVP = 4 are registered. NT-pro BNP level is measured at admission and discharge. CXRs and NT-pro BNP samples were used to substantiate the cause of admission, the degree of pulmonary congestion and extent of improvement during hospitalization. The 10-point radiological score (RS) was applied to assess the CXR when RS=0 signifies no congestion; RS of 1-4 represents interstitial congestion; and RS of 5-10 is compatible with alveolar edema. Medical therapy administered during hospitalization has to be documented.
This information is correct up to December 31, 2017. To date, there have been 24 participants in the interventional arm of the study and 24 in the control group.
Study update June 17, 2020: To date we have enrolled 102 patients (51 patients in each arm). The data monitoring committee of the study has reviewed the ongoing results and has allowed its continuation to the following year.
