Summary

The HABIT clinical study is being performed to determine the benefit and optimal frequency for at home testing of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) for heart failure patients following hospitalization from decompensation. Subjects will be enrolled following hospitalization for decompensated heart failure. Enrolled subjects will be trained on the use of the Triage Touch meter for fingerstick BNP assessment; these subjects will then test their BNP levels daily using the Triage Touch product for approximately 60 days.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center, single-arm double-blinded prospective clinical study to determine the optimal frequency of home B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) testing and the changes in BNP concentrations that correlate with clinical heart failure (HF) decompensation and related adverse clinical outcomes in at-risk HF patients. Approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled.
