Heart failure (HF) is one of the most important healthcare issues due to its prevalence, high morbidity and mortality, as well as its economic burden. A shift in the healthcare model towards reducing inpatient hospitalizations might have a significant impact on HF-related costs and quality of life. Recently, wireless monitoring has begun to be an essential part of the management in the patient with HF. The CardioMEMS HF system is one of the best examples pertaining to the success in this field. This article will discuss the CardioMEMS HF system and the rationale behind its development.
心力衰竭(HF)因其患病率、高发病率和死亡率以及经济负担,成为最重要的医疗保健问题之一。医疗模式向减少住院治疗的转变可能会对与HF相关的成本和生活质量产生重大影响。最近,无线监测已开始成为HF患者管理的重要组成部分。CardioMEMS HF系统是该领域成功的最佳范例之一。本文将讨论CardioMEMS HF系统及其开发背后的基本原理。
