Heart failure is a condition where the heart gets weaker over time. You usually don’t know that it is getting worse until symptoms start, but there is a way for your care team to identify when your heart failure is getting worse, even before you start to have symptoms.
When your heart is too weak to pump effectively, fluid builds up and this causes pulmonary artery (PA) pressure to increase, which is an early sign that your heart failure is getting worse. The CardioMEMS™ HF System can help your care team remotely monitor your PA pressure. Based on the data from the pulmonary pressure monitoring system, they can make adjustments to your medications or recommend lifestyle changes – even before you notice symptoms like shortness of breath, swelling or weight gain.
The CardioMEMS HF System is a clinically proven PA pressure monitor that reduces heart failure hospitalizations and improves quality of life.1 This is important because each time you’re hospitalized for heart failure, your heart is damaged. That damage may contribute to your heart failure getting worse.2
Regular monitoring helps you and your care team identify proactive treatments to help you live more and worry less.
