The Optimistic Future of Remote Hemodynamic Monitoring

In this issue of Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, Sandhu and Heidenreich1 provide a concise, extensive and objective review of remote hemodynamic monitoring (RHM) with the CardioMEMS ™ HF device. RHM has long been considered a potential treatment to improve the care of patients with advanced heart failure (HF). A multitude of devices assessing various physiologic variables related to the process of HF decompensation have been studied.2 However, until recently, no device or app roach has been effective in reducing future HF hospitalization rates.
