Study Overview
Brief Summary
FIGHT-HF is an exploratory non-randomized open-label study evaluating a heart failure management intervention.
The goal of this pilot is to assess the performance of a fluid-guided heart failure management program and Alert Response Guide (ARG) using the Bodyport Cardiac Scale and Congestion Index in 50 adult participants with acute and chronic heart failure, who are followed by a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist.
Detailed Description
This study will assess the clinical integration of the Cardiac Scale and a composite biomarker algorithm, the Congestion Index and Alert, into existing health system workflows for HF management. The data collected in this study will be used to test and refine existing Congestion Index-guided HF management protocols contained within an Alert Response Guide (ARG). The final Alert Response Guide may be further validated in future randomized control trials.

Arms & Interventions
Interventional arm
Participants will begin receiving fluid-guided care when they begin using the device in the outpatient (home) setting.
Participants will be monitored per routine clinical care and receive study follow-up visits at 45- and 90-days to assess clinical status, events, and medication changes.
Intervention: Heart Failure Management Intervention (Device)
