Key result
The abstract outlines the aims of a first-in-man study evaluating an implantable wireless pressure sensor for heart failure, but does not report any results.
Why the study?
Does an implantable wireless pressure sensor safely provide accurate and reproducible long-term intracardiac pressure recordings in patients with heart failure?
Does an implantable wireless pressure sensor safely provide accurate and reproducible long-term intracardiac pressure recordings in patients with heart failure?
This first-in-man study aims to establish the safety and feasibility of a wireless implantable pressure sensor for long-term intracardiac monitoring in heart failure.
Wireless sensor implantation feasible in small HF cohort; leaves open long-term safety, accuracy, and clinical utility pending larger trials.
Background: Heart failure is a huge health problem. The possibility of long-term monitoring heart function more accurately in these patients has gained increasing interest. The primary aim of this study was to see if a wireless pressure sensor can be safely implanted to give accurate and reproducible long-term intracardiac pressure recordings. Another aim was to see if there are any adverse effects connected with the implant. A control group was included for comparison of clinical data.
