CardioMEMS HF System

For pulmonary artery pressure monitoring

About the CardioMEMS HF System

The CardioMEMS™ HF System allows clinicians to monitor heart failure patients’ pulmonary artery (PA) pressure for proactive and actionable heart failure (HF) management and treatment. With early indications of worsening heart failure, you can remotely make adjustments to care to help slow the progression of heart failure, often before patients feel symptoms.

The CardioMEMS HF System is proven to:

Aid physicians in preventing worsening heart failure1, lowering mortality rates and improving survival^2,3,4
Significantly reduce heart failure hospitalizations^3,5
Improve quality of life in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III patients hospitalized for heart failure in the previous 12 months⁶

Indications

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.

Contraindications

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

How It Works
