CardioMEMS HF System

Remote Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitor

CardioMEMS H System

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.

Abbott’s CardioMEMS™ HF System is the leading remote monitoring platform for both HFpEFand HFrEF patients clinically proven to:

  • Aid physicians in preventing worsening heart failure2
  • Lower heart failure mortality rates3
  •  Improve quality of life for heart failure patients4
CardioMEMS HF System Product Information

CardioMEMS HF System Product Information

Indications

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.

CardioMEMS HF System Clinical Evidence

Multiple clinical trials have evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the CardioMEMS HF System. For a deep dive into the clinical data, visit the Clinical Evidence and Journal Article information.
