About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Sleep Disorder; Breathing-Related

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Patients 18 years or older 2. Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; LVEF ≥50%) 3. Hospital admission or equivalent (such as ER visit alone or clinic visit alone) and acute decompensated HF as determined by:

    1. Dyspnea at rest or with minimal exertion AND
    2. Treatment with at least one dose of IV diuretic or ultrafiltration AND
    3. At least two of the following signs and symptoms:

    i. Orthopnea ii. Pulmonary rales that do not clear with cough iii. Congestion on chest X-ray iv. Local BNP or NT pro-BNP level:

  • No current AFib: BNP≥100 pg/mL or NT pro-BNP≥300 pg/mL OR
  • Current AFib: BNP≥150 pg/mL or NT pro-BNP≥450 pg/mL 4. Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) documented by screening polygraphy with an AHI≥15 events/hour (e/hr) 5. Patient is able to fully understand study information and sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Right-sided heart failure without left-sided failure
  2. Current chronic use (within 4 weeks of registry entry) of any PAP therapy (e.g., CPAP, APAP, or bi-level) or contraindicated for PAP therapy
  3. Sustained systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg at baseline
  4. Complex congenital heart disease
  5. Constrictive pericarditis
  6. Chronic hypoxemia as evidenced by sustained oxygen saturation ≤ 85% at rest during the day or at start of nocturnal oximetry recording or regular use of oxygen therapy (day or night)
  7. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) or Stroke within 3 months prior to registry entry
  8. Definite clinically evident acute myocardial infarction within 3 months of registry entry
  9. Known amyloidosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, or arteriovenous fistulas
  10. Moderate or greater valvular heart disease as the primary reason for heart failure
  11. In the opinion of the investigator, the index acute decompensated HF event was not due primarily to uncontrolled AFib with fast ventricular response rate
  12. Inability to comply with planned study procedures

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Active Patient Engagement

Arm Description

All patients are enrolled into the Active Patient Engagement (APE) arm. This arm will receive the APE intervention.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Adherence (hours/night)
Demonstrate acceptable adherence to ASV therapy can be achieved in patients with moderate to severe SDB in a recently hospitalized population of Heart Failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Quality of Life Score -
Quality of life will be assessed using the KCCQ-12, a 12-item validated instrument that measures Quality of Life in heart failure patients on a scale of 0-100. Higher scores indicate higher Quality of Life

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single-arm, unblinded pilot study and registry that aims to demonstrate adherence to adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy in patients with moderate to severe sleep disordered breathing who have been recently hospitalized. ASV therapy has been linked to improved outcomes in this population, but adherence to therapy is low. The AirCurve 10 ASV device that will be used for this study employs newer technologies, such as web-based monitoring and provides patients feedback, which may increase therapy adherence and therefore improve patient outcomes.
