Heart Failure NYHA Class II Heart Failure NYHA Class III Insertable Cardiac Monitor | Device: Wearable Cardiac Monitor |
This is a non-randomized, feasibility study that will enroll up to 60 participants diagnosed with Class II (30-35%) or III (30-35%) heart failure or are indicated for an insertable cardiac monitor with no history of heart failure (30-35%).
There will be one study visit per participant and a follow up phone call. The study visit includes device placement and data collection during rest and during a 6 minute hall walk. The device will then be removed.

- Step Detection [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Characterize step count in class II and III heart failure and in ICM indicated patients with no history of heart failure.
- Walking Patterns [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Characterize walking patterns in class II and III heart failure and in ICM indicated patients with no history of heart failure.
