Background: Non-invasive, continuous blood pressure monitoring technologies require additional validation beyond standard cuff-based methods. This study evaluates a non-invasive, multiparametric wearable cuffless blood pressure (BP) diagnostic monitor across all hypertension classes with diverse subjects.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter study assessed Nanowear's SimpleSense-BP performance, including induced and natural BP changes, significant BP variations (Systolic BP (SBP) ≥ ± 15 mm Hg and Diastolic BP (DBP) ≥ ± 10 mm Hg), and reference input value validity over 4 weeks.
Background: Left ventricular (LV) dilatation and extensive scar portend a poor prognosis in heart failure (HF). The Revivent TC system (BioVentrix Inc) is used either during a hybrid transcatheter-surgical or a surgical-only procedure to exclude transmural scar and reduce LV dimensions.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of the Revivent TC® anchor system in patients with HF.
Article Synopsis
- * An 18-month pilot intervention was conducted at eight VA medical centers, with CWOs overseeing implementation and monitoring progress through surveys and qualitative interviews.
- * Results indicated that not formally hiring CWOs limited their effectiveness, but some positive changes in workplace culture and readiness for change were noted, emphasizing the need for a structured CWO role and comprehensive interventions to better support workforce well-being.
Background: There is an unmet need for early detection of heart failure decompensation, allowing patients to be managed remotely and avoid hospitalization.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare a strategy utilizing data from a wearable HF sensor for management following a HF hospitalization to usual care.
Methods: Eligible subjects were discharged from the hospital within the previous 10 days and had a HF event in the previous 6 months.
Aims: Interatrial shunts are under evaluation as a treatment for heart failure (HF); however, their in vivo flow performance has not been quantitatively studied. We aimed to investigate the fluid dynamics properties of the 0.51 cm orifice diameter Ventura shunt and assess its lumen integrity with serial transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
