Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the CardioStory Device in Distinguishing Heart Failure From Other Causes in Patients Presenting With Dyspnea
Conditions: Dyspnea, Heart Failure Acute
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Sponsor: Hôpital Universitaire Sahloul
Summary
The CARDIOSTORY.TN study is a prospective observational study at Sahloul University Hospital (Sousse, Tunisia) evaluating the CardioStory device for distinguishing heart failure (HF) from other causes of acute dyspnea.
Background: Dyspnea is common in emergencies, and differentiating cardiac from non-cardiac causes is often delayed by the limits of echocardiography and BNP tests. CardioStory is a rapid (\~2 minutes), non-invasive tool that measures cardiac filling pressure, a key HF marker.
Objectives:
Primary: Assess CardioStory's diagnostic accuracy.
Secondary: Compare it with echocardiography and NT-proBNP, evaluate ease of use, and measure time to diagnosis.
Methods:
Adults (≥18) with acute dyspnea (\
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* • Age ≥ 18 years
* Recent onset dyspnea (less than 7 days)
* Informed consent obtained
Exclusion Criteria:
* • Age inferior to 18 years,
* Severe comorbidity, hemodynamic compromise or immediate need for mechanical ventilation were exclusion criteria.
* Dyspnea clearly of traumatic or allergic origin
