To characterize the impact of orthostatic hypotension (OH) and reflex syncope on signals measured using a wearable cardiac monitor prototype device.
To evaluate the relationship of signals measured from the wearable cardiac monitor prototype device with reported symptom severity of orthostatic intolerance per standard data collection, analysis, and questionnaires.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Orthostatic Hypotension Reflex Syncope | Device: Wearable heart monitor |
This is a non-randomized feasibility study that will enroll up to 50 participants that have undergone a previous autonomic reflect screen (ARS) assessment and were either diagnosed with OH or reflex syncope, or considered to be control subjects for this study.
A maximum of 20 subjects diagnosed with reflex syncope, a maximum of 10 subjects diagnosed with OH and a maximum of 10 control subjects will be enrolled. There will be one study visit per subject.

Official Title: | Data Collection - Of Syncope Tilt Table Testing Study |
Actual Study Start Date : | October 4, 2019 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | May 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | September 2023 |

Group/Cohort | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Group 1: Syncope patients
Patients that have undergone an ARS assessment and diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension or reflex syncope.
|
Device: Wearable heart monitor
Participants will be fitted with a wearable heart monitor placed on the skin that measures physiologic signals. There is no intervention or treatment. |
Group 2: Control patients
Patients that have undergone an ARS assessment and are control subjects.
|
Device: Wearable heart monitor
Participants will be fitted with a wearable heart monitor placed on the skin that measures physiologic signals. There is no intervention or treatment. |
- Physiologic Signal Detection [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Characterize the impact of orthostatic hypotension (OH) and reflex syncope on physiologic signals measured using a wearable cardiac monitor prototype device.
