Wearable Device-Assisted Remote Management to Improve Prognosis in Patients With Acute Heart Failure Complicated by Atrial Fibrillation: WARM-HF Trial (Stage 2)

Sponsor: Beijing Anzhen Hospital

Summary

With the advancement of wearable technology, continuous non-invasive monitoring of vital signs, arrhythmia burden, and physical status has become increasingly feasible. Devices such as smartwatches and electrocardiogram (ECG) straps can provide real-time physiological data, offering new opportunities for remote and proactive disease management. Despite the growing availability of such real-time data, the complex interaction between atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) necessitates highly personalized management. However, there remains a lack of high-quality clinical evidence on how to effectively integrate wearable device data into these personalized strategies for specific patient populations. Moreover, the prognostic impact of wearable device-assisted remote management has not been comprehensively evaluated. Therefore, robust clinical studies are needed to further evaluate whether wearable device-assisted remote monitoring can improve the long-term prognosis of this population after discharge from the cardiac care unit (CCU). In this study (WARM-HF Stage 2), the investigators will conduct a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to determine whether wearable devices can reduce the composite endpoint of readmission or death in patients with HF.
