Why the study?

To evaluate usability and patients' attitudes toward a new permanent intracardiac device (V-LAP) implanted to remotely monitor left intra-atrial pressures in chronic HF.

Is the V-LAP intracardiac microcomputer system usable and acceptable to patients with chronic heart failure?

Population

First 14 patients receiving V-LAP technology worldwide

Design

Usability questionnaire study

Follow-up

12 months

Key result

The V-LAP intracardiac device demonstrated good usability in patients with chronic heart failure, with 93% successfully operating the system independently at first follow-up.

Overview

Patient usability of V-LAP appears feasible in chronic HF; leaves open clinical adoption pending larger prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Is the V-LAP intracardiac microcomputer system usable and acceptable to patients with chronic heart failure?

Population

14 patients with chronic heart failure implanted with the V-LAP intracardiac device, followed for up to 12 months to assess usability and attitudes.

Intervention

V-LAP system (permanent intracardiac device implanted percutaneously across the interatrial septum to remotely monitor left intra-atrial pressures) with a wearable belt companion device

Outcome

Usability of the system, ease in performing tasks, and overall satisfaction assessed via questionnaire (5-point Likert scale)patient reported

Patients with chronic heart failure can correctly and consistently acquire and transmit hemodynamic data using the V-LAP intracardiac monitoring system, with acceptable usability and satisfaction.
