Stress and Congestive Heart Failure
Conditions: Congestive Heart Failure
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 108
Sponsor: Yale University
Location: St. Francis Hospital Hartford Connecticut
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether acute stress can precipitate congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbation in patients with CHF.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-Heart failure patients over 18 who have or will be receiving a Cardiomems implanted PAP monitor.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who are unable to perform EMA or laboratory assessments due to cognitive, visual, language, or other disabilities will be excluded.
* Patients with Class IV heart failure will also be excluded, as they are already maximally decompensated, and a ceiling/floor effect would preclude effects of stress.
* Patients with conditions other than heart failure that affect PA pressures (e.g. dialysis).
* Patients with physical conditions that interfere with study participation.
* Patients non-compliant with their PAP monitoring.
* Patients with chronic opioid use will be excluded.
