Feasibility and Clinical Utility of Ambulatory Ultraslow Deflation Sphygmomanometers in LVAD Recipients - easiSLOW-LVAD Pilot (easiSLOW-LVAD)

June 2, 2026 updated by: University of Florida
Prospective, single-arm feasibility study will evaluate the use of an ultraslow deflation automated sphygmomanometer (Terumo Elemano 2) for home BP monitoring in patients with continuous-flow LVADs. Outcomes include patient-reported ability to obtain BP readings, adherence, ease of use, and correlation with clinical parameters. Findings may support improved BP monitoring strategies in this high-risk population.
