Why the study?
Does the Heart Failure Risk Score (HFRS) derived from integrated device diagnostics accurately predict worsening heart failure status?
Does the Heart Failure Risk Score (HFRS) derived from integrated device diagnostics accurately predict worsening heart failure status?
High HFRS derived from integrated device diagnostics accurately predicts patient-reported worsening heart failure symptoms, supporting its use in ambulatory monitoring.
HFRS may aid remote HF monitoring via device diagnostics; leaves open prospective outcome trials.
TRIAGE-HF is the first study to provide prospective data on the distribution of abnormal device parameters contributing to high HFRS. High HFRS has good predictive accuracy for patient-reported signs, symptoms, and behaviours associated with worsening HF status. As such, HFRS may be a useful tool for ambulatory HF monitoring to improve both patient-centred and health system level outcomes.
