Summary
This study tests whether adding HeartLogic diagnostic alerts to usual care can reduce hospitalizations and improve quality of life for people with chronic heart failure and low ejection fraction. About 135 adults with a prior heart failure event will be enrolled. The approach uses data from implanted heart devices to guide medication adjustments.
