Smart algorithm aims to improve heart failure care
NCT ID NCT04452149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to manage heart failure using a small heart monitor (Reveal LINQ) and a special algorithm. The goal was to see if this approach could safely guide treatment and improve outcomes for people with moderate heart failure. 826 participants with NYHA class II or III heart failure were enrolled. The study compared the algorithm-guided care to standard care, looking at safety and effectiveness.
