Manatee Memorial Hospital is the first facility on Florida’s West Coast to implant a new miniaturized, wireless monitoring sensor to manage heart failure (HF). The CardioMEMS HF System™ is the first and only FDA-approved heart failure monitoring device that has been proven to significantly reduce hospital admissions when used by physicians to manage heart failure. “The CardioMEMS HF System is a new and exciting tool in the outpatient management and treatment of patients with heart failure,” said Joseph Pace, MD, the cardiologist who performed the first three procedures at Manatee Memorial Hospital in October. “Once implanted into the pulmonary artery, the wireless sensor sends pressure readings to an external patient electronic system located in the cardiologist’s office. The cardiologist can detect any changes and adjust treatment.”
