Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The CARRYING ON for heart failure (HF) study is a national, prospective, post market interventional, multi-center, open-label, pilot trial.The purpose of the study is to assess a short term and a long term period, incidence of pre-specified clinical and arrhythmic events in patients with a low ejection fraction (EF) that are hospitalized for acute cardiac decompensation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The CARRYING ON for heart failure (HF) study is a national, prospective, post market interventional, multi-center, open-label, pilot trial designed in two phases.

The purpose of the study is to assess a short term (6 months follow-up - Phase 1) and a long term period (24 months follow-up - Phase 2), incidence of pre-specified clinical and arrhythmic events in patients with a low ejection fraction (EF) that are hospitalized for acute cardiac decompensation. A previously implanted Reveal® XT device will be used to collect heart rhythm information.
