Clinicians have traditionally relied on physical markers, such as weight, blood pressure and symptoms to manage the care of their heart failure patients. These lagging indicators give clinicians little time to respond before hospitalization of a patient becomes necessary.
The CardioMEMS™ HF System is a one-of-a-kind remote monitoring technology that detects changes in pulmonary artery (PA) pressure – an early indicator of worsening heart failure. This technology not only alerts you if a patient’s heart failure is worsening – but gives you the actionable data you to need to intervene before a patient feels symptoms.
Abbott’s CardioMEMS HF System is the only remote monitoring platform clinically proven to aid physicians in preventing worsening heart failure.
As telemedicine becomes more common, the CardioMEMS™ HF System is a safe, reliable way to remotely monitor and manage heart failure. It gives you actionable data to make informed care decisions for each patient without needing to see them in clinic.
It’s the personalized approach your patients deserve. This technology helps keep patients out of the hospital and provides the opportunity for them to reconnect with their lives knowing you are monitoring their heart failure – through the CardioMEMS™ HF System.
