Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
None
Disqualifiers
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.
