Results of CHAMPION trial of CardioMEMS HF Systems in heart failure published in JACC Heart Failure- St. Jude Medical
St. Jude Medical announced a new analysis of the CHAMPION trial published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Heart Failure shows pulmonary artery (PA) pressure monitoring with the St. Jude Medical CardioMEMS HF System can improve medical management and prevent hospitalizations of heart failure patients as compared to the traditional standard of care (weight and blood pressure tracking).
The study supports the use of PA pressure monitoring to help clinicians proactively identify the early onset of worsening heart failure and to adjust therapeutic interventions in order to decrease the risk that patients will be hospitalized for congestive heart failure.
