Heart Failure Remote Monitoring Can Significantly Improve Quality of Life1

If you have heart failure, it can be frightening to not know when your heart failure is worsening. What if there was a way to have your heart monitored 24/7 and avoid hospitalization?

Untreated Heart Failure Symptoms Can Be Deadly

Over time, heart failure (also called congestive heart failure), or a weak heart, will worsen when the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet your body’s needs. Heart failure symptoms like these can limit your activities and way of life without you even realizing it.

Signs and symptoms of heart failure can include:

Shortness of Breath

Patients who are hospitalized just once for heart failure may die within 2.5 year, if left untreated.2

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to a heart specialist. You can see if there’s a CardioMEMS HF System trained doctor near you.

How CardioMEMS Works for Congestive Heart Failure Treatment

A small sensor implanted in your pulmonary artery is used to take readings and sends information directly to your care team. With this information, your doctor and care team can monitor your heart’s condition and let you know if you need to make any changes to your medications or if you may need other treatments.
 

Placing the CardioMEMS™ PA Sensor for monitoring is a common procedure and allows your doctor to monitor the pulmonary pressure in your heart.

During this procedure, doctors access the pulmonary artery with a thin tube (called a catheter) that is guided through a vein to reach your heart.

The pressure sensor is then placed in your pulmonary artery. It is slightly larger than a dime.

You will not feel the sensor; it has no batteries or wires and will not interfere with other devices. Most patients can go home the same day it is inserted.

The CardioMEMS HF System has helped more than 35,000 patients3, like Bob, take control of their heart failure and live their best life.

“It makes life easy for me, so I’m grateful”

— Bob, recipient of the CardioMEMS HF System*

What Does Pulmonary Artery Pressure Tell Doctors?

Changes in pulmonary artery pressure measurements are an early indicator of worsening heart failure.4 If doctors can see these early changes, they can potentially make adjustments to your care that will help with heart failure management.

These adjustments might include changes to medications and/or lifestyle. Other signs of worsening heart failure can appear too late to prevent hospitalization or other larger adjustments to care, which is why pulmonary artery pressure monitoring can be a beneficial treatment option.4

Nor does Abbott represent that this is a full list of clinics in a particular location. Though Abbott attempts to regularly update the locator, the locator may not have the latest information regarding the clinic or provider, or availability of product. The clinics are included in the locator because they have ordered at least 3 CardioMEMS systems in total and at least one in the last year if an implanting center, or have requested inclusion and have managed at least 3 CardioMEMS patients in the last 12 months if a non-implanting center. The number of orders has been validated; the number of implants has not been validated. This locator includes US clinics only. No clinics or healthcare professionals (HCPs) have paid or received a fee to be listed, but some HCPs within the clinics on this locator may purchase products from Abbott, provide consulting services to Abbott, and/or may have a financial relationship with Abbott.
