Sweat-Powered relief: could a High-Tech suit drain fluid from heart failure patients?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥21 years and \< 80 years 2. Subject, with known decompensated heart failure NYHA Class II, III (as evaluated by an independent observer who is not on the study team) presenting with fluid overload, defined by a congestion score of ≥3, who are not responding adequately or are resistant to current medical treatment as evidenced by persistent or worsening congestion, despite a daily dose of 80 mg furosemide or greater or the equivalent dose of another loop diuretic . 3. No change in diuretic dosage in the past 5 days 4. Subjects with eGFR between 15-89 mL/min/1.73m2 5. Baseline NT-proBNP ≥600 pg/mL 6. Baseline systolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg 7. Subject is able and willing to provide written informed consent, inclusive of the release of medical information, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) documentation 8. Subject is not participating in any clinical investigation that may interfere with the data collection or the results of this study Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject considered to be in the acute worsening of heart failure: Requiring invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation, mechanical circulatory support or is clinically unstable requiring pressors, inotropes, deterioration triggered by arrhythmia, infection, or other medical condition unrelated to fluid overload . 2. Subject has any known or visible lower body (non-facial) skin condition (open wounds, ulcers, infections) that can potentially prevent using the wearable for the duration of the procedure 3. Known allergy to Polyester or Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) 4. Subject with severe peripheral arterial disease 5. Subject is pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the study period, or a lactating woman. 6. Subject with known hypothalamic disorders 7. Subject with known hypohidrosis disorders 8. Subjects with external medical technology dependency (gastric (G) tubes, ventilators, peripherally inserted central venous catheters, etc.) 9. Subject with cystic fibrosis 10. Subject with active infections 11. Inability or unwillingness to comply with the study requirements 12. Subjects with unstable electrolytes or acid-base balance (as per investigator's discretion) 13. Known Severe aortic valve or mitral valve stenosis 14. History of a heart transplant or actively listed for a heart transplant 15. Implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or implant anticipated in \<3 months 16. Subject with a life expectancy of less than 6 months, per investigator's discretion, due to malignant or non-cardiac comorbidities
