ReDS-Guided Decongestion in Acute Heart Failure (ReDS-LATAM HF)

Kurzzusammenfassung

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalization, with high rates of early readmission largely driven by residual congestion at discharge. Conventional methods to assess congestion are often imprecise and may fail to guide optimal decongestive therapy. Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) is a non-invasive technology that provides a rapid and objective estimate of lung fluid content. This study aims to evaluate whether a ReDS-guided decongestion strategy improves clinical outcomes compared with standard care in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. In this randomized controlled trial, patients will be assigned 1:1 to a ReDS-guided strategy or standard care. ReDS measurements will be performed in both groups but will only guide treatment in the intervention arm. The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality, heart failure rehospitalization, or unplanned HF visit within 30 (±5) days after discharge.
