Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the V-LAP System in subjects with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II and III HF, irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction.

Detailed Description

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

The trial is designed to demonstrate that the V-LAP™ implant can be positioned in the interatrial septum.

The V- LAP™ System is intended for wirelessly measuring and monitoring LAP. The V-LAP™ System is indicated for subjects with chronic symptomatic ACC/AHA Stage C.

Pressure-guided medical management of study participants, with the goal of reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life, will be implemented using a physician-directed patient self-management approach.

V-LAP-PSM (Patient Self-management), Patient Guidance Application is a smartphone application that guides the patient on how to self-adjust the treatment, according to physician prescription, and when to approach the study investigator.

Safety will be monitored by the occurrence of adverse events throughout the trial.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and documented heart failure for at least 6 months (diagnosis of HF ≥ 6 months), regardless of ejection fraction.

1. Have a minimum of one (1) HF hospitalization or equivalent (HF Emergency Department Visit or HF Urgent Clinic Visit) within the last 12 months associated with signs/symptoms of congestion requiring treatment with intravenous (IV) diuretic. If Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) device previously implanted, the HF hospitalization or equivalent must be ≥ 30 days after CRT implantation.
2. Have a corrected\* elevated outpatient Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) level of at least 300 pg/ml or an N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) level of at least 1,500 pg/ml, according to local measurement, within 90-days of the Baseline Visit.

* Thresholds for NT-proBNP will be corrected for body mass index (BMI) using a 4% reduction per BMI unit over 20 kg/m2. If subject is on ARNI, NT-proBNP should be used exclusively.
3. Receiving maximally-tolerated medical therapy for heart failure as indicated per ACC/AHA or ESC Heart Failure Guidelines (guideline-directed medical therapy or GDMT), in the absence of contraindications and lack of availability. GDMT refers to those guideline-directed medical therapies having a Class I indication for use.

* For patient with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), GDMT includes a diuretic as needed for volume control, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), beta-blocker (BB), mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), and SGLT2 inhibitor for at least 3 months prior to the Baseline visit. Drug doses, with the exception of diuretics, should be stable for at least 1 month, where stability is defined as no more than a 100% increase or 50% decrease in dose.
* For patient with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), GDMT includes a diuretic as needed for volume control and treatment of associated conditions (e.g., hypertension, atrial fibrillation) for at least 3 months prior to the Baseline visit. Drug doses, with the exception of diuretics, should be stable for at least 1 month, where stability is defined as no more than a 100% increase or 50% decrease in dose.
* Patients should also receive Class I recommended cardiac rhythm management device therapy. Specifically: if indicated by class I guidelines, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), or a pacemaker should be implanted at least 3 months prior to Baseline Visit. These criteria may be waived if a patient is clinically contraindicated for these therapies or refuses them and must be attested to by the investigator.
* GDMT may change over time; the most current versions of the ACC/AHA or ESC Heart Failure Guidelines will supersede the above guidelines.
4. Provide informed consent for study participation and be willing and able to comply with the required tests, treatment instructions, and follow-up visits.

Exclusion Criteria

* 1\. Age less than 22 (\<22) or greater than 88 (\>88) years old. 2. Subjects who are NYHA class IV and ACC/AHA stage D. 3. Subjects with evidence/history of a major cardiovascular or neurovascular event, such as an intra-cardiac thrombus or history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic or pulmonary thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), within the last 6 months of Baseline Visit.

4\. Subjects with a resting systolic blood pressure \<90 or \>180 mmHg. 5. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) \> 8cm. 6. Have an atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale with more than trace shunting on color Doppler or intravenous bubble study or surgical or interventional correction of congenital heart disease involving atrial septum, including placement of a PFO or ASD closure device, and have a hypermobile septum or a septal aneurysm.

7\. Subjects with untreated severe valve lesions, which are indicated for surgical or percutaneous intervention, active valvular vegetations, atrial myxoma, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with significant resting or provoked subaortic gradient, acute myocarditis, tamponade, or large pericardial effusion, constrictive pericarditis, infiltrative cardiomyopathy (including cardiac sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, and hemochromatosis), or congenital heart disease, as a cause of HF.

8\. Uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia or bradycardia (heart rate \<45). 9. Intractable HF with resting symptoms despite maximal medical therapy (ACC/AHA HF Stage D), including subjects receiving continuous or intermittent outpatient IV vasoactive medications (e.g., IV inotropes, IV vasodilators), subjects treated with a ventricular assist device (VAD).

10\. Intolerant to ACE-I, ARB, or ARNI and beta-blocker medical therapy for subjects classified as HFrEF (EF ≤40%).

19\. Gastrointestinal bleeding in the last 6 months. 20. Have severe chronic pulmonary disease requiring continuous home oxygen, chronic oral steroid therapy, hospitalization for exacerbation during prior 6 months, or has severe obstructive physiology on PFTs (FEV1/FVC \<0.70 and FEV1 \< 50% normal), if done.

21\. Subjects who have an active infection requiring systemic antibiotics or an elevated white blood count (above the local laboratory reference ranges).

22\. Have a history of active drug addiction, active alcohol abuse, or psychiatric hospital admission for psychosis within the prior 2 years.
