Heart failure is a widespread condition affecting 6.2 million adults in the United States.1

Receiving a heart failure diagnosis can be difficult, but you’re not alone. More people than ever are living longer and improving their quality of life with remote heart failure monitoring devices.

The CardioMEMS™ HF System enables earlier and more proactive heart failure treatment to slow down your heart failure progression and keep you out of the hospital.

The CardioMEMS HF System is the leading remote heart failure monitoring device with more than 25,000 patients using the system and it is now approved for even more people in earlier stages of heart failure. This may include congestive heart failure, left-sided heart failure, or right-sided heart failure.

Ask your doctor how the CardioMEMS HF System can help you LIVE MORE and WORRY LESS.

How Can the CardioMEMS HF System Help You Stay Ahead of Heart Failure Progression?

Pulmonary artery pressure monitoring provides early detection of worsening heart failure, long before symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling of the feet, ankles and legs and weight gain. 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.

How Does Remote PA Pressure Monitoring Work?

Remote pulmonary artery pressure monitors, like the CardioMEMS HF System, will allow you to track and analyze the pressure in your pulmonary artery from the comfort of your own home.

Changes in pulmonary pressure is an early sign of heart failure progression.

Third, data wirelessly transmitted to clinician’s secure website. And finally, clinician reviews data and contacts patient as necessary.

Brief Summary: Prior to using these devices, please review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, potential adverse events and directions for use.

CardioMEMS™ HF System Indications and Usage: The CardioMEMS HF System is indicated for wirelessly measuring and monitoring pulmonary artery pressure and heart rate in NYHA Class II or III heart failure patients who either have been hospitalized for heart failure in the previous year and/or have elevated natriuretic peptides. The hemodynamic data are used by physicians for heart failure management with the goal of controlling pulmonary artery pressures and reducing heart failure hospitalizations.

CardioMEMS™ HF System Contraindications: The CardioMEMS™ HF System is contraindicated for patients with an inability to take dual antiplatelet or anticoagulants for one month post implant.

CardioMEMS™ HF System Potential Adverse Events: Potential adverse events associated with the implantation procedure include, but are not limited to, the following: air embolism, allergic reaction, infection, delayed wound healing, arrhythmias, bleeding, hemoptysis, hematoma, nausea, cerebrovascular accident, thrombus, cardiovascular injury, myocardial infarction, death, embolization, thermal burn, cardiac perforation, pneumothorax, thoracic duct injury and hemothorax.

myCardioMEMS™ Mobile App Limitations: Patients must use their own Apple or Android mobile device to receive and transmit information to the myCardioMEMS™ Mobile App. To do so the device must be powered on, app must be installed and data coverage (cellular or Wi-Fi) available. The myCardioMEMS™ Mobile App can provide notification of medication adjustments and reminders, requests for lab work and acknowledgement that the PA pressure readings have been received. However, there are many internal and external factors that can hinder, delay, or prevent acquisition and delivery of the notifications and patient information as intended by the clinician. These factors include: patient environment, data services, mobile device operating system and settings, clinic environment, schedule/configuration changes, or data processing.

Refer to the Instructions for Use for detailed indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and potential adverse events.
