Pulmonary Artery Sensor Technology

Recent study results showed that despite improved hypertension control, there has been little decline in CVD deaths among patients with hypertension since the first decade of the 2000s.

Management of patients with heart failure guided by a pulmonary artery sensor exceeded performance goals and was linked to improved quality of life and functional capacity compared with historical performance goals, researchers reported.

PHILADELPHIA — Two different sensors were able to safety and accurately measure pulmonary artery pressures for remote HF management, which resulted in improvements in symptoms and quality of life, according to data from the SIRONA and MEMS-HF trials presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
