Summary of Transcript:
Dr. Chemnatas introduces a new tool called Cardiomems Pulmonary Artery Monitoring device to manage congestive heart failure. The tiny clip device is put into the pulmonary artery measuring the pressure in the lungs. By picking up congestive heart failure happening a week from now while a patient is still asymptomatic, it will detect it early enough so that necessary adjustments can be made to prevent hospitalization. The insertion process of the device is a simple outpatient procedure using a catheter inserted via a vein. The device does not rust, and it does not have a battery. By lying down on a special pillow for a few minutes, a patient can relay the signal transmitted to the device. The device has been found to reduce hospitalization rates by almost 60%. The procedure is simple and does not inconvenience the patient.

Summary of Description:
The CardioMEMS device allows for remote monitoring of pulmonary hypertension in patients by sending data that can show rising lung pressures before hospitalization is necessary. Dr. Pradip Jamnadas explains how the device works in this video and emphasizes that it is not a substitute for individual medical advice. He also provides links to subscribe to his YouTube channel and sign up for heart health emails.

Introduction:
Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MD, MBBS, FACC, FSCAI, FCCP, FACP introduces viewers to the CardioMEMS device and explains how it is used to remotely monitor patients for pulmonary hypertension.
What is the CardioMEMS device?
The CardioMEMS device is a miniature wireless sensor that is implanted in the pulmonary artery. This device allows for patients to be remotely monitored for pulmonary hypertension.
How does it work?
The CardioMEMS device sends data wirelessly to a secure website where physicians can monitor lung pressures. This data can show lung pressures rising before congestive heart failure and hospitalization is needed.
Who is a candidate for the CardioMEMS device?
Patients with pulmonary hypertension are candidates for the CardioMEMS device. This includes patients with congestive heart failure and those who have had heart attacks.
Benefits of the CardioMEMS device:
The CardioMEMS device allows for physicians to remotely monitor lung pressures and detect changes before the patient experiences symptoms. This can lead to earlier intervention and potentially prevent hospitalizations.
Conclusion:
The CardioMEMS device is a valuable tool for the remote monitoring of patients with pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Pradip Jamnadas emphasizes the importance of consulting with a physician before starting any medical program or treatment. Any action taken upon the information in this content is strictly at the viewer’s own risk.
