Receiving a heart failure diagnosis can be difficult, but you’re not alone and more people than ever are living longer and improving their quality of life with today’s heart failure management options.
If you have NYHA Class III heart failure and have been hospitalized in the past year, it may be time to talk to your doctor about pulmonary artery (PA) pressure monitoring.
Find a heart failure clinic near you that offers the CardioMEMS™ HF System.
Pulmonary artery (PA) pressure monitoring provides early detection of worsening heart failure, long before symptoms such as weight gain or blood pressure. Daily pressure readings from home can proactively inform your care team of any needed adjustments to your medications and/or lifestyle without a hospital or clinic visit.
