Implanted sensors may foresee heart failure crises
NCT ID NCT07753135
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether sensors inside implanted heart devices can warn of worsening heart failure. Researchers will track 500 adults with heart failure or cardiomyopathy who have a Boston Scientific ICD or CRT-D equipped with HeartLogic, Sleep Incline, and Apnea Scan functions. By collecting data from routine device checks and remote monitoring, they aim to see if changes in sensor readings are linked to heart failure events like hospitalizations or emergency visits. The goal is to improve remote monitoring and help doctors intervene earlier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) with HeartLogic, Sleep Incline, and Apnea Scan functions
- What this could lead to
- If sensor changes reliably predict heart failure worsening, this could enable earlier interventions, fewer hospitalizations, and better remote care for patients with heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients, and sensor data might not consistently predict worsening heart failure.

Who is studied
Adult patients with heart failure or cardiomyopathy implanted with HeartLogic-enabled Boston Scientific ICD or CRT-D devices who are enrolled in the LATITUDE remote monitoring system. Participants are prospectively followed to evaluate the relationship between device-based sensor parameters and clinical heart failure outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 19 years or older who provide written informed consent (or consent from a legally authorized representative when applicable) * Diagnosed with heart failure or cardiomyopathy Implanted with a commercially approved Boston Scientific implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) equipped with HeartLogic™, Sleep Incline, and Apnea Scan functions * Enrolled in the LATITUDE™ (NXT 5.0 or later) remote monitoring system and willing to participate in scheduled remote monitoring and follow-up Exclusion Criteria: * Planned heart transplantation or implantation of a ventricular assist device (VAD), or history of VAD implantation within the previous 12 months * Life expectancy of less than 1 year * Inability or unwillingness to comply with the study protocol or follow-up requirements
