About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Breathing Exercises

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Suspected arrhythmia Diastolic Heart Failure and/or in Renal Failure.
  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Stage 5 (GFR = <15 mL/min).
  • Diastolic Heart Failure in class II and class III (class IV to be considered in end stage and non-reversible).
  • Willing to sign the informed consent form.
  • Greater than 18 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Enrolled in another study that could confound the results of this study, without documented pre-approval from a Medtronic study manager.
  • Significant respiratory diseases such as COPD or pulmonary hypertension.
  • Frequent arrhythmias, including PVC's.
  • Known systolic heart failure.
  • Recent infection.
  • Allergenic or rejection reaction to materials used in incision/insertion tools, Reveal LINQ™ ICM exterior or incision closure method.
  • Active implanted cardiac medical device (e.g. IPG, ICD, CRT, etc).
  • Not suitable for Reveal LINQ™ implantation (e.g., severe cachexia, dermatologic conditions of the skin) or any concomitant condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not allow a safe participation in the study.
  • Body conditions that would complicate accurate measurement of respiratory efforts with an external device deployed around the chest.
  • Not able to take the postures as necessary for the study protocol and not able to walk continuously for a period of 6 minutes.
  • Any concomitant condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not allow a safe participation in the study.
