Remote sensor may let heart failure patients Self-Tune diuretics
NCT ID NCT07743125
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adults with heart failure who have an implanted pulmonary artery pressure sensor can safely adjust their own diuretic (water pill) doses. Participants follow a simple guide to change their medication based on daily pressure readings sent to their phone or patient portal. The study tracks safety events like hospitalizations and kidney issues, as well as how well the approach controls heart failure symptoms over 90 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Shared-management diuretic titration guided by remote pulmonary artery pressure monitoring
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could empower heart failure patients to manage their own fluid levels at home, potentially reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study, so results may not apply broadly. There are risks of over- or under-diuresis, leading to kidney injury or electrolyte imbalances.

Inclusion Criteria (prospective arm participants must meet ALL of 1-7; retrospective cohort inclusion limited to criterion 1): 1. Currently implanted with and actively transmitting remote pulmonary artery pressures using the CardioMEMS HF system and exclusively managed by the Froedtert Menomonee Falls Cardiovascular Team according to previously published hemodynamic treatment algorithm. 2.
