Remote Monitoring To Identify Worsening Heart Failure The REMOTI-HF Randomized Clinical Trial
270 participantsStarted 2024-07-01
Plain-language summary
Heart failure, characterized by high mortality and morbidity rates, frequent hospital admissions, and prolonged stays in cardiology wards, significantly impacts patients' quality of life.
The REMOTI-HF is a single-center randomized controlled trial designed to assess the impact of remote monitoring, utilizing the HeartLogic and TriageHF algorithms, in patients with heart failure with implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy. The primary endpoints include mortality, hospital admissions related to heart failure, and visits for worsening heart failure.
Moreover, we will explore the full capabilities of these algorithms, by analysing the association of physical activity, measured by the devices, with the same key outcomes. Additionally, the research will explore the relationship between the absolute values provided by the algorithms and NT-proBNP values.

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?

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?
