Using CardioMEMS to manage heart failure

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The CardioMEMS CED Study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the CardioMEMS HF System in managing heart failure by monitoring pulmonary artery pressure. This observational study will compare hospitalization rates and survival outcomes over two years between patients using the CardioMEMS system and those receiving standard care without pressure guidance. The study focuses on real-world applications to determine if this technology can lead to improved long-term health outcomes for heart failure patients.
