Natriuretic peptide dynamics with remote pulmonary artery pressure monitoring

Abstract:

Background Real-life clinical practice has confirmed the value of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure-guided therapy in patients with heart failure (HF) and history of repeated HF hospitalizations (HFH), to greater extent to that reported in the pivotal clinical trial CHAMPION-HF. The value of hemodynamic monitoring in a population of patients with HF and elevated natriuretic peptides, but without recent HFH, is unknown. Objective To assess N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) dynamics before and 6 months after PA pressure sensor implantation. Methods Ten patients managed in a multidisciplinary HF clinic implanted with the CardioMEMS PA pressure sensor were consecutively included from June 2019 to July 2020. Mean age was 63.1±23.5 years, 30% were women, 40% had HF with reduced EF (EF <40%). NTproBNP was measured at …
