Title: Left Atrial Pressure Monitoring to Optimize Heart Failure Therapy Study (LAPTOP-HF)
Principal Investigator: David Feldman, MD
Study Synopsis: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of use of a physician-directed, patient self-management system, guided by left atrial pressure measurements, for use in patients with heart failure. The system allows patients to adjust their heart failure medications based on a physician-directed prescription plan and their current heart failure status, similar to a patient with diabetes on insulin therapy who adjusts their insulin dosage based on their blood sugar reading.
Study Status: Open for enrollment
How do I qualify? Be at least 18 years of age, have been diagnosed with heart failure for at least 6 months and have been hospitalized with heart failure within the past 12 months. There are several tests and/or procedures that will be completed to determine if you qualify.
Who do I contact for more information? Holly MacDonald RN, CCRC or JoAnne Goldman RT, CCRC. Or contact research at 612.863.3980
