Inclusion criteria
. Subject has given written informed consent
. Male or female, at least 18 years of age
. Diagnosis and treatment of HF (regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)) for ≥ 3 months and NYHA Class III HF at time of Screening
. Subjects should be on stable, optimally titrated medical therapy for at least 30 days, as recommended according to current American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines as standard-of-care for HF therapy in the United States, or current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for HF treatment in Europe, with any intolerance documented.
. HF related hospitalization, HF treatment in a hospital day-care setting, or urgent outpatient clinic HF visit for IV diuretics within 12 month (last hospitalization should be 30 days before Screening/Enrollment) and/or N-terminal pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT proBNP) at time of Screening/ Enrollment defined as:
. Subjects with LVEF ≤ 50%: NT-proBNP ≥ 1500 pg/mL.
. Subjects with LVEF \> 50%: NT-proBNP ≥ 800 pg/mL . Thresholds for NT-proBNP (for both LVEF ≤ 50% and LVEF \> 50%) will be corrected for body mass index (BMI) using a 4% reduction per BMI unit over 25 kg/m2
. Subjects should be on diuretic therapy
Exclusion criteria
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
Efficacy 6 Month Incidence of HF Related Hospitalizations (HFH) or All-cause Mortality
Timeframe: 6 months
2
Safety: Freedom From Device/System Related Complication
. Intolerance to all neuro-hormonal antagonists (i.e., intolerance to ACE-I, ARB, ARNI, and beta-blockers) due to hypotension or renal dysfunction
. ACC/AHA Stage D refractory HF (including having received or currently receiving pharmacologic circulatory support with inotropes)
. Subjects with history of recurrent pulmonary embolism ( ≥2 episodes within 5 years prior to Screening Visit) and/or deep vein thrombosis (\< 3 month prior to Screening Visit)
. Subjects who have had a major cardiovascular (CV) event (e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke) within 3 months of the Screening Visit
. Unrepaired severe valvular disease
. Subjects with significant congenital heart disease that has not been repaired and would prevent implantation of the Cordella PA sensor or mechanical/tissue right heart valve(s)
. Subjects with known coagulation disorders
. Subjects with a hypersensitivity or allergy to platelet aggregation inhibitors including aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor; or patients unable to take dual antiplatelet or anticoagulants for one-month post implant
