About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Heart Failure focused on measuring Heart Failure, randomized, OptiVol® Fluid status monitoring

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects of both genders with mild to severe HF as defined as NHYA Class II to IV who also have an indication for device implant according to ESC/AHA guidelines as well as having a HF hospitalization or Emergency Department visit necessitating therapy within the past 12 months and who meet all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria, are eligible for this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is post heart transplant or actively listed on the transplant list and reasonable probability (as defined by investigator) of undergoing transplantation in the next year
  • Subject received a coronary artery bypass graft or valve surgery in last 90 days
  • Subject with a myocardial infarction (MI) in the last 40 days.
  • Subject's life expectancy is less than one year in the opinion of the physician
  • Subject has severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), as determined by physician and documented in medical records
  • Subject is listed for valve replacement/valve repair
  • Subject has severe, primary pulmonary hypertension as determined by physician and documented in medical records
  • Subject with serum creatinine ≥ 2.5 mg/dL measured within 14 days prior to enrolment
  • Subject on chronic renal dialysis
  • Subject on continuous or uninterrupted (≥ 2 stable infusions per week) infusion (inotropic) therapy for HF
  • Subject has complex and uncorrected Congenital Heart Disease

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The DOT-HF trial is an international, prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled trial.
Detailed Description
The study was designed with a Control Arm in order to adequately study the effect of early intervention triggered by the OptiVol® Alert and/or SentryCheck™ Monitor/PatientLook™ Indicator and evaluation using OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitoring with Cardiac Compass. OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitoring with Cardiac Compass features are available in the per Clinical Investigational Plan specified Medtronic products (CRT, CRT-D and ICD devices)
