Key result
Ambulatory monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure using a new solid-state system was safe, with <1% zero level drift, and led to major treatment alterations in 4 of 6 heart failure patients.
Why the study?
Does a miniaturised solid state system for ambulatory monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure provide safe and reliable data to assess dyspnoea and manage left heart failure in patients with cardiac disease?

Does a miniaturised solid state system for ambulatory monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure provide safe and reliable data to assess dyspnoea and manage left heart failure in patients with cardiac disease?
A novel miniaturised solid state system for ambulatory pulmonary artery pressure monitoring was safe and reliable, providing actionable data that guided treatment changes in patients with left heart failure.
Nathan et al. (1983) conducted an observational in Dyspnoea with valvular or coronary disease, or left heart failure (n=13). Ambulatory monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure was evaluated on System performance, safety, and clinical utility. Ambulatory monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure using a new solid-state system was safe, with <1% zero level drift, and led to major treatment alterations in 4 of 6 heart failure patients.
