Key result
V-LAP remote monitoring detects rising LAP to guide treatment in a heart failure patient.
Why the study?
Remote monitoring of haemodynamic data during the COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to detect and treat heart failure, but initial experiences with novel wireless left atrial pressure monitoring systems needed reporting.
Population
One 59-year-old man with severe ischaemic cardiomyopathy and LVEF -30%
Comparison
Remote haemodynamic monitoring using the V-LAP system
Design
Case report from a first-in-man clinical study
Follow-up
First 3 months after implantation

Double-blind
The V-LAP wireless left atrial pressure monitoring system is feasible for remote monitoring of heart failure patients, allowing detection of rising pressures to guide treatment.
Perl et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Heart failure (n=1). V-LAP™ monitoring system was evaluated on Left atrial pressure (LAP). Remote monitoring using the V-LAP system detected a gradual increase in mean left atrial pressure from 6.56 to 19.4 mmHg in a heart failure patient, allowing for subsequent treatment.
