GUIDE-HF Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Single ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Management of subjects based on PA pressure information derived from the CardioMEMS™ HF System. All subjects will receive a CardioMEMS™ HF System.
Group II: Randomized Arm - Treatment GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Management of subjects based on pulmonary artery (PA) pressure information derived from the CardioMEMS™ HF System. All subjects will receive a CardioMEMS™ HF System.
Group III: Randomized Arm - Control GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Management of subjects per standard of care (signs, symptoms, weight etc.) without knowledge of PA pressure information derived from the CardioMEMS™ HF System. All subjects will receive a CardioMEMS™ HF System.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the underlying purpose of this medical trial?

"This trial's primary endpoint, which will be observed for 12 months after implantation, is a composite of heart failure hospitalizations (HFHs), intravenous diuretic visits and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes encompass 6 minute hall walk test distance, the number of HFHs and emergency room/hospital outpatient observation visits for IV diuretics."
