History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of monitoring hemodynamic changes, which result from heart failure exacerbations, by recording the respiratory effort, chest wall dynamics and quantifying the development of dyspnea by using miniature mechanical sensors that are attaches to the chest.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system
Single arm study - "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system is used for monitoring heart failure patients
 Device: "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system.
50 patients hospitalized due to the decompensated HF are considered for entry. 3 patches will be attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors. The system will be attached to the patients at the start of treatment. Patient's signals will be recorded during the entire treatment in the hospital, to the point that there is an improvement in their health condition.
Other Name: "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system for heart failure patients
Device: "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system
Non invasive clinical follow-up of patients with HF deterioration and improvement, by a device-based algorithm. The system comprises of patches attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors (Accelerometers) that measure the chest wall dynamics and the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation.
Other Name: "Pneumedicare"s monitoring system for heart failure patients

Detailed Description:

Pulmonary veins congestion and fine changes in alveolar transudative effusion accumulation affect lung mechanics (compliance) and the respiratory effort. Moreover, the associated state of oxygen de-saturation is compensated by an increase in the respiratory effort. These changes in the respiratory effort are reflected in chest wall dynamics and may provide the earliest non-invasive sign for lung congestion and deterioration in the heart failure.

The research system comprises of patches attached to the patients' thorax that include motion sensors (Accelerometers) that measure the chest wall dynamics and the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation. The signals are acquired by a miniaturized device that amplifies and samples the signals, stores and analyzes the data and displays the trends on the screen.
