简要总结
This prospective, open label, randomized, single-center pilot clinical trial will determine if the rate of heart failure related (HFR) hospitalizations is less in LVAD patients whose PAP is monitored with the CardioMEMS device vs the control patients receiving standard of care treatment.
详细描述
This prospective, open label, randomized, single-center pilot clinical trial will determine if the rate of heart failure related (HFR) hospitalizations is less in LVAD patients whose PAP is monitored with the CardioMEMS device vs the control patients receiving standard of care treatment.
Secondary objectives:
- Number of emergency department visits
- Days alive outside the hospital
- Rate of all cause rehospitalizations
- Change in NYHA functional class
- Impact on quality of life as determined by utilizing the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ).
- Impact on functional status as determined by a six-minute walk test
- Rate of LVAD and CardioMEMS device malfunctions
- Change in baseline pulmonary pressures
- Rate and method of mortality

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group: CardioMEMS Device
For patients randomized to the intervention group, the CardioMEMS device will be implanted during a right heart catheterization procedure. The device will be positioned in the pulmonary artery and calibrated using a Swan-Ganz catheter. After implantation, PAP measurements will be taken daily using the home monitoring system provided to the patient. These readings will be transmitted wirelessly to the clinical team, who will review the data at least once per week. Adjustments to the patient's medical therapy and LVAD speed settings will be made based on the hemodynamic data provided by the CardioMEMS device.
干预措施: CardioMEMS Device (Device)
Control Group: Standard of Care Monitoring
Patients in the control group will be monitored according to standard of care, which includes periodic evaluations of echocardiographic parameters (e.g., left ventricular size and function, aortic and mitral valve function, and right ventricular function), clinical assessments (e.g., NYHA classification, medication review, and physical examination), quality of life assessments using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), functional status evaluations with a six-minute walk test, and monitoring for adverse events such as heart failure-related hospitalizations, reoperations, and device-related complications.
