Boston, February 24, 2025 — At the THT conference, Dr. Jesus Alvarez-Garcia, head of the Advanced Heart Failure Unit at Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid, announced the launch of the ReDS-SAFE HF II trial. This large-scale, multicenter study aims to validate the benefits of using ReDS (Remote Dielectric Sensing) to guide heart failure management.
Trial Details
The ReDS-SAFE HF II trial will enroll over 1,000 patients across 24 medical centers in Spain. It seeks to confirm whether ReDS-guided management improves patient outcomes within 30 days compared to standard care. Patients in the ReDS-guided group will undergo daily ReDS measurements during hospitalization and an additional assessment at a one-week follow-up visit. This approach aims to optimize pulmonary congestion management and reduce complications related to heart failure.
Building on Previous Success
The trial builds on the success of the ReDS-SAFE HF study, which involved 100 patients with acute decompensated heart failure. That study showed that ReDS-guided management significantly reduced deaths, rehospitalizations, and unplanned visits within 30 days after discharge. The reduction was substantial, with a 90.6% decrease in these events.
Goals and Support
The primary goal of the ReDS-SAFE HF II trial is to validate these findings and establish ReDS-guided management as a standard in heart failure treatment. The trial is supported by the Government of Spain, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the Spanish Society of Cardiology, and Sensible Medical.
Potential Impact
Dr. Alvarez-Garcia expressed excitement about the trial, stating, “By expanding the study to over 1,000 patients across multiple centers, we aim to further demonstrate the ability of ReDS-guided management to improve heart failure patient outcomes. This trial has the potential to transform how we manage heart failure during hospitalization and the vulnerable post-discharge period, offering a more personalized and effective strategy to reduce rehospitalizations and improve patient quality of life.”
