The CardioMEMS Heart Failure (HF) system, a paperclip sized device, collects a patient\u2019s pulmonary artery pressure (the flow of deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs which reflects fluid levels) remotely and sends this real-time data to their provider. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/directory\/essraa-bayoumi-md\/\">Essraa Bayoumi, MD<\/a>, an assistant professor in the Division of Cardiology said cardiologists with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/cardiology\/faculty-staff\/#heart-failure\">UNC\u2019s Advanced Heart Failure Team<\/a> can use the information to update treatment plans even before symptoms arise, without waiting for the patient\u2019s next clinic appointment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis device is already proven to reduce rehospitalizations for heart failure. It has also shown to improve mortality, quality of life, and allows providers to proactively treat heart failure,\u201d Dr. Bayoumi said.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">How it Works<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sensor gets implanted into the pulmonary artery during a minimally invasive, 30-minute outpatient procedure. Patients won\u2019t need to prepare for any down time, and most will never feel it\u2019s there. From home, the patient will lay on a separate pillow-like device to transmit their fluid status, being recorded by the CardioMEMS, to their care team. If the data shows an increase in pressure which can be a sign of an exacerbation of their heart failure, the cardiologist will contact the patient about changing medications, scheduling an appointment or the best course of treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNot having to wait till the next clinic appointment to know if someone\u2019s heart failure has progressed can take away some of the patient\u2019s worry. Especially for a patient who may not live close to UNC, this is a great way to stay connected to the people who have been taking care of you,\u201d Dr. Bayoumi said.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-57581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-269x300.jpeg\" alt=\"essraa-bayoumi\" width=\"239\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-269x300.jpeg 269w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-919x1024.jpeg 919w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-768x856.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-1378x1536.jpeg 1378w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-600x669.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi-301x335.jpeg 301w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2022\/01\/essraa-bayoumi.jpeg 1737w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a>CardioMEMS at UNC<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The University of North Carolina\u2019s Advanced Heart Failure Team is currently offering this device to eligible patients, but Dr. Bayoumi wants to increase awareness further.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHeart failure is a major reason for rehospitalizations and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. For the right patient, a CardioMEMS device can reduce hospitalizations and improve a patient\u2019s quality of life,\u201d Dr. Bayoumi emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To refer a patient for a CardioMEMS reach out to a provider with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/cardiology\/faculty-staff\/#heart-failure\">UNC\u2019s Advanced Heart Failure Team<\/a>.
