Why the study?
The effect of change in position (supine and standing) on pulmonary artery pressure in ambulatory heart failure patients required investigation.
Does standing position compared to supine position affect pulmonary artery pressure readings in ambulatory heart failure patients with a CardioMEMS sensor?
Comparison

Consistent positioning required for reliable CardioMEMS PAP monitoring in HF; leaves open optimal standardization for remote management.
Does standing position compared to supine position affect pulmonary artery pressure readings in ambulatory heart failure patients with a CardioMEMS sensor?
Pulmonary artery pressure readings via CardioMEMS vary significantly between supine and standing positions, highlighting the need for consistent patient positioning during measurements.
Sethi et al. (2023) studied this question.
