Precision Event Monitoring for Patients With Heart Failure Using HeartLogic
United States, Australia, Belgium2,184 participantsStarted 2018-06-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of the PREEMPT-HF study is to collect device and clinical event data to evaluate extended applications of the HeartLogic Heart Failure Diagnostic (HeartLogic) in a broad spectrum of heart failure patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator. There are no primary safety and/or efficacy endpoints for this study.
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome with high morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Chronic Heart Failure is persistent, gradually progressive, and punctuated by episodes of acute worsening leading to hospitalizations. Therefore, there remains an unmet clinical need to slow the progression of Heart Failure and prevent hospitalizations. HeartLogic, available in Boston Scientific cardiac resynchronization therapy devices and defibrillators, combines novel sensor parameters such as heart sounds and respiration with other measurements like thoracic impedance, heart rate, and activity into a HeartLogic Index for the early detection of worsening Heart Failure. However, there is limited data on the association of HeartLogic with the risk of Hear Failure readmissions and tachyarrhythmias, or for phenotyping the broad spectrum of Heart Failure patients.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Subject is age 18 or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to each country and national laws.
* Subject has a documented diagnosis of heart failure.
* Subject has a Boston Scientific Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator device implant that has HeartLogic, with Heart Failure Sensors turned ON, Respiratory Sensor turned ON, and Sleep Incline Sensor turned ON.
* Subject has an active bipolar right ventricle lead implant.
* Subject is enrolled in LATITUDE (NXT 5.0 or future version), and is willing to be remotely monitored from the baseline visit for approximately 12 months with HeartLogic disabled.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subject has received or is scheduled to receive a heart transplant or ventricular assist device (VAD).
* Subject is enrolled in any concurrent clinical study without prior Boston Scientific written approval (excluding registries).
* Subject has a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
* Subject has a history of non-compliance to medical care or known inability to comply with requirements of the clinical study protocol
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Association of HeartLogic sensors with 30-day HF re-admission
Timeframe: Heartlogic sensor data will be evaluated for the association to HF re-admission during the 30 days after the index event (e.g. the first HF hospitalization that occurs during the trial).
