Treatment Arm
Pulmonary Artery Pressure Guided Heart Failure Management (PAPGHFM) and Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) considering daily Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) measurements and vital signs collected by Cordella Heart Failure System (CHFS).
|
Device: Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System
The Cordella PA Sensor System (CorPASS) is intended to measure, record, and transmit pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) data from NYHA Class III heart failure patients at home to clinicians for assessment and patient-centered heart failure management and comprises of seven subsystems that operate together to take daily Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) readings at a patient's home and transmit the results to a care provider for evaluation.

- KCCQ [ Time Frame: 3 years ]The Quality of Life KCCQ questionnaire is a measure of health-related quality of life. It is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life related to Heart Failure. Out of 23-items, 10 scores will be calculated: Physical Limitation, Symptom Stability, Symptom Frequency, Symptom Burden, Total Symptom Score, Self-Efficacy, Quality of Life, Social Limitation, Overall Summary Score, Clinical Summary Score .Presentation will be done by means of descriptive statistics including the absolute value and change from baseline by visit.
- NYHA [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Subjects complete a six (6) minute walk test at the study visits described in the study protocol. Total distance walked (meters) will be collected and analyzed by means of descriptive statistics including the absolute value and change from baseline by visit
- NYHA and 6-Minute Walk Test [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Functional status improvement, as measured by NYHA and 6-Minute Walk Test
- Serious adverse events [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Frequency of serious adverse events throughout the study
- Incidence of HF Hospitalizations or all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Incidence of HF Hospitalizations or all-cause mortality at 12 months
- N-terminal pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]Change of N-terminal pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) from Baseline through 6 and 12 months
- Days Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Days Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH)
- Heart failure related Medication changes [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Heart failure related Medication changes
- HF Hospitalization or all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Incidence of HF Hospitalizations or all-cause mortality at 12 months
- HF Hospitalization, Emergency Department/Hospital Outpatient IV diuretic visits, all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Combined outcome of:
- First and recurrent Heart Failure Hospitalizations
- Emergency Department / Hospital Outpatient IV diuretic visits all-cause mortality at 6 months, added together with equal weighting into a total number of events.
- HF Hospitalization, Emergency Department/Hospital Outpatient IV diuretic visits [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]HF Hospitalization, Emergency Department/Hospital Outpatient IV diuretic visits at 6 and 12 months
- Implant procedure and procedure related adverse events and serious adverse events [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Frequency of implant procedure and procedure related adverse events and serious adverse events

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria
- Subject has given written informed consent
- Male or female, at least 18 years of age
- Diagnosis and treatment of HF (regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)) for ≥ 3 months and NYHA Class III HF at time of Screening
- Subjects should be on stable, optimally titrated medical therapy for at least 30 days, as recommended according to current American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines as standard-of-care for HF therapy in the United States, or current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for HF treatment in Europe, with any intolerance documented.
-
HF related hospitalization, HF treatment in a hospital day-care setting, or urgent outpatient clinic HF visit for IV diuretics within 12 month (last hospitalization should be 30 days before Screening/Enrollment) and/or N-terminal pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT proBNP) at time of Screening/ Enrollment defined as:
