Evaluation of the CardioStory Device for Rapid Identification of Heart Failure in Adults with New Shortness of Breath

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the CardioStory device in adult patients who come to the emergency department with new shortness of breath, also known as dyspnea. The study focuses on distinguishing heart failure from other causes of dyspnea by collecting data from routine medical assessments and device measurements. The study is observational and involves adults aged 18 years and older. Participants will undergo non-invasive cardiac assessments using the CardioStory device, which quickly measures cardiac filling pressure using fiber-optic sensors and advanced algorithms without invasive procedures. Measurements with the device take about 2 minutes and are compared to standard clinical assessments including medical history, physical exams, laboratory tests, and echocardiography. The study collects data only during the emergency visit. During participation, patients will have routine clinical data recorded alongside the device measurements. Researchers will assess the diagnostic performance, sensitivity, specificity, and time efficiency of the CardioStory device in identifying heart failure. They will also monitor for any adverse events related to device use. The primary and secondary outcomes are measured on the first day of the emergency visit, with no long-term follow-up mentioned.
