Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients who are unable to perform EMA or laboratory assessments due to cognitive, visual, language, or other disabilities will be excluded.
  • * Patients with Class IV heart failure will also be excluded, as they are already maximally decompensated, and a ceiling/floor effect would preclude effects of stress.
  • * Patients with conditions other than heart failure that affect PA pressures (e.g. dialysis).
  • * Patients with physical conditions that interfere with study participation.
  • * Patients non-compliant with their PAP monitoring.
  • * Patients with chronic opioid use will be excluded.
