Project Narrative Congestive heart failure is a significant cause of hospitalization, decreased quality of life and death. Due to current limitations in detection, tissue congestion in the lungs and legs are not diagnosed until symptoms develop. NXT Biomedical has developed a prototype IFPx sensor to measure tissue congestion. The goal of this Phase 1 application is to test our NXT IFPx prototype SCIP sensor in bench-top experiments and in a large animal model of fluid-overloaded heart failure to improve sensor reliability and demonstrate signal tracking with standard, invasive measures of congestion.
