The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AQUAPASS, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. The investigators want to see if the AQUAPASS system can remove an additional 500mL of fluids during treatment, alongside patients' regular medications like diuretics. Participants will be treated in the hospital or in the outpatient clinic.
