Read our Heart Failure research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are trying to understand heart failure better by combining your medical records, blood tests, and genetic information with home monitoring devices (blood pressure cuff, scale, activity tracker). The goal is to identify which patients are at highest risk for serious complications and to figure out whether remote monitoring can help optimize your heart failure medications.
Heart failure is a serious condition affecting millions of Americans, and people respond very differently to the same treatments. This study exists to discover whether analyzing your personal health data — including genetics and daily home measurements — can help doctors predict who needs more aggressive treatment and whether checking your vital signs at home can improve outcomes.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive home monitoring devices (blood pressure monitor, scale, and activity tracker) or to continue with standard care. Either way, you'll come to the clinic at least twice a year for heart-related checkups, and researchers will collect your medical records and blood samples to analyze your genetic and molecular information. The study will follow you over time to see how your heart failure progresses and whether home monitoring helps optimize your medications.
