Heart implants may soon track your breathing
NCT ID NCT06089694
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks whether implanted heart devices (ICDs and CRT-Ds) can measure breathing rates as accurately as a standard capnography machine. Researchers will compare readings from the device's special Holter mode with those from capnography in people with heart failure. If the device-derived rates are consistently within a few breaths per minute of the true rate, it could lead to simpler monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Enabling Sensor Research Holter Mode feature within Crome and Cobalt ICD and CRT-D devices
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow heart devices to monitor breathing without extra equipment, potentially helping manage heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on accuracy, not treatment. The feature may not work well in all patients or situations.
