Summary

This study tests whether a small sensor implanted in the lung artery can help doctors remotely monitor heart failure and adjust treatments. About 554 patients with advanced heart failure will either receive standard care or the sensor plus standard care. The goal is to see if the sensor reduces hospitalizations and deaths over 12 months.
