Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied heart failure patients in the Netherlands to see if using a special monitoring device (CardioMEMS-HF) helped them feel better compared to regular care.
- They involved 348 patients and checked their progress over 12 months using a health questionnaire.
- The results showed that those using the CardioMEMS device had a better improvement in their health scores than those receiving standard care.
Aims: Adjustment of treatment based on remote monitoring of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure may reduce the risk of hospital admission for heart failure (HF). We have conducted a meta-analysis of large randomized trials investigating this question.
Methods And Results: A systematic literature search was performed for randomized clinical trials with PA pressure monitoring devices in patients with HF.
Introduction: Chronic heart failure (HF) is characterized by high hospital admission rates. The CardioMEMS HF System is a pulmonary artery pressure sensor developed for remote hemodynamic monitoring to reduce HF hospitalizations. The device is FDA approved and CE marked, but clinical evidence for the CardioMEMS system is mainly based upon U.

- Researchers found it tough to give heart failure patients the best medications, even though there are guidelines.
- In 2021, a group called the European Heart Failure Association created patient profiles based on their health traits to help tailor treatments better.
- They studied 4,455 heart failure patients and discovered that almost 40% could fit into these profiles, which could lead to better and more personalized treatments.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess heart failure (HF) treatment in patients with and without obesity in a large contemporary real-world Western European cohort.
Methods: Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% and available information on body mass index (BMI) were selected from the CHECK-HF registry. The CHECK-HF registry included chronic HF patients in the period between 2013 and 2016 in 34 Dutch outpatient clinics.
