  1. CardioMEMS™ HF System: Advancing Heart Failure Care Through Collaboration with General Cardiology

    CardioMEMS™ HF System: Advancing Heart Failure Care Through Collaboration with General Cardiology

    Heart failure management continues to challenge even experienced clinicians, particularly when care depends on episodic office visits and late-stage symptom recognition. Matthew H. Gonzalez, MD, Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiologist at Corewell Health and Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Michigan State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, discusses how pulmonary artery pressure monitoring with the CardioMEMS™ HF System made by Abbott shifts management from reactive to proactive by detecting hemodynamic congestion before clinical deterioration occurs. Drawing on clinical data and his experience partnering with community cardiologists, Dr. Gonzalez explains how continuous hemodynamic insight enables earlier therapeutic adjustment, reduces heart failure hospitalizations, and strengthens coordinated care without adding clinic burden.

    Integrated Heart Failure Care with PA Pressure Monitoring: CardioMEMS™ HF System in Structural Heart

    Ryan K. Kaple, MD, FACC, FSCAI, is the Program Director of the Structural and Congenital Heart Program at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey. In this video, Dr. Kaple discusses how the CardioMEMS™ HF System has become an essential tool in managing patients with chronic heart failure. By providing pulmonary artery pressure monitoring, the technology enables earlier identification of decompensation, often before symptoms occur, allowing clinicians to adjust therapy proactively and reduce heart failure hospitalizations. Dr. Kaple shares how integrating the CardioMEMS™ HF System into his heart failure program has improved patient outcomes, optimized care coordination, and enhanced long-term quality of life for this high-risk population.
