| Description | Champion: CardioMEMS Heart Sensor Allows Monitoring of Pressure to Improve Outcomes in NYHA Class III Heart Failure Patients
HF Pressure Measurement System
A pressure sensor is intended to be implanted into the pulmonary artery at the time of Swan-Ganz catheterization.
The primary hypothesis is that the TREATMENT group will have a significantly lower rate of HF-related hospitalizations than the CONTROL group. ( Time Frame: 6 months). This trial is closed to enrollment and is follow-up phase. |
