Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) Assisted Diuresis in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Conditions

ReDS-Guided — DEVICE
ReDS measurements will be shared with the treating clinicians who can use the information to guide diuresis and determine the appropriate timing of discharge
Usual Care — DEVICE
ReDS measurements will not be shared with the treating clinicians, who will guide diuresis using standard clinical criteria

This study evaluates the use of a wearable vest capable of non-invasively measuring lung fluid content in hospitalized patients with heart failure

Experimental: ReDS-Guided
Patients in the intervention arm will undergo daily measurements of lung fluid content at the bedside with the ReDS vest. The values will be shared with the treating clinicians, who can use the measurements in addition to other standard data to guide diuresis. Patients should be discharged only once their lung fluid content falls within the normal range of 20-35%.
Sham Comparator: Control
Patients in the control arm will also undergo daily measurements of lung fluid content at the beside with the ReDS vest. However, the values will not be shared with the treating clinicians, who will direct management based on standard clinical tools

Net Fluid Balance during hospitalization [ Time Frame: During hospitalization, approximately 7 days ]
