About this trial

This is an international, multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label blinded endpoint study designed to demonstrate that use of the FIRE1 NORM™ System in the management of New York Heart Association Class II/III HF patients is superior for reducing the combined endpoint of worsening HF events and cardiovascular mortality compared to standard of care treatment. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either NORM™ System and guided heart failure management (intervention group) or usual standard of care with guided heart failure management (control group).
