Arm Label

All participants

Arm Description

All participants enrolled in a single arm to evaluate effect of variables (posture, respiration, exertion) on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Mean Change in Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) Due to Change in Posture
Posture defined as lying left side down compared to baseline supine

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in PAP During Change in Respiration
Outcome measure defined as PAP during coughing compared to PAP during normal breathing respiration at baseline.
Change in PAP as Measured After Mild Exertion Compared to Initial Baseline PAP at Rest.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand how the pressure in the pulmonary artery changes under different conditions of posture, respiration and exertion.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study with enrollment up to 30 subjects at 2 U.S. sites. All study data can be collected on a single day as a one-time visit (lasting approximately 90-120 minutes). This study is a Non-Significant Risk (NSR) Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study as LINQ™ HF investigational RAMware is required to activate additional sensors in the Reveal LINQ ICM. The patient will come to the clinic for a single in-office visit. PA pressure will be measured while the patient is in a variety of positions and during different respiratory exercises and after brief exertion. Data will be collected on eCRFs. The effects of the different postures, respiration and exertion will be quantified using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation).
