330 Remote Monitoring of Pediatric Heart Failure: A Systematic Review

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Pediatric heart failure is a complex disease presenting as an end-stage condition due to various etiologies and symptoms, causing 14,000 hospitalizations per year in the United States. Currently, there is a lack of objective metrics that are monitored non-invasively. This study explores tools to adapt remote monitoring technologies for pediatrics. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The task was determining commercially available and upcoming technologies for remote heart failure monitoring in the pediatric population. Literature and patent reviews were done in various databases with defined eligibility and key terms. Our inclusion criteria were: English peer-reviewed research or review articles, patents filed by cardiac monitoring companies, and independent groups focusing on non-invasive monitoring solutions. Key terms used for the literature search and patent review included pediatric heart failure’, at-home monitoring’, cardiac monitoring’, and non-invasive’. Based on a strong correlation between increased filling pressures and pediatric heart failure, the term filling pressures’ was also included in the search. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Preliminary searches demonstrate an abundance of adult-use commercially available devices and patents for monitoring heart failure. Yet, there are no FDA-approved devices for use in the pediatric population. Current devices include monitoring metrics such as lung congestion and multi-parametric monitoring to capture heart rate, thoracic impedance, and oxygen saturation levels. In monitoring filling pressures, Abbott CardioMEMs is a leader in measuring pulmonary arterial pressure invasively in adults. Thus, there is a gap for non-invasive monitoring of filling pressures in both pediatric and adult populations. For further review, a larger focus will be placed on non-invasive methods for direct monitoring or extrapolation of cardiac filling pressures. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Current methods of heart failure monitoring are ineffective in serving the pediatric population. Thus, an identified gap exists in non-invasive filling pressure monitoring for pediatric heart failure. This review informs that innovation within this area would address inefficacies within the current paradigm of heart failure monitoring.
