CardioMEMs

Heart Failure is a chronic condition, but you can do something to improve your quality of life.

What is CardioMEMs?

CardioMEMs qualifies as proactive care that allows your cardiologist to provide personalize real time treatment to prevent a heart failure episode or possibly a hospitalization.

CardioMEMS is relatively simple outpatient procedure and is covered by most major insurance plans. Performed in a hospital, a cardiologist makes a puncture in the right femoral vein to access the patient’s vascular system and ultimately position the implant in the patient’s pulmonary artery.

This small pressure sensor — placed in a branch of the pulmonary artery measures the artery pressure. The wireless, radio frequency sensor implant and pillow send your secure data to your Heart Failure team from the comfort of your home.
