Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether acute stress can precipitate congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbation in patients with CHF.

Eligibility

Age: 18 Years+Healthy volunteers accepted
Inclusion Criteria:

-Heart failure patients over 18 who have or will be receiving a Cardiomems implanted PAP monitor.

Exclusion 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.
