Rationale and design of the CardioMEMS Post-Market Multinational Clinical Study: COAST.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Chronic heart failure reduces quality and quantity of life and is expensive for healthcare systems. Medical treatment relies on guideline-directed therapy, but clinical follow-up and remote management is highly variable and poorly effective. New remote management strategies are needed to maintain clinical stability and avoid hospitalizations for acute decompensation.

Methods and results

The CardioMEMS Post-Market Study is a prospective, international, single-arm, multicentre, open-label study (NCT02954341) designed to examine the feasibility of haemodynamic guided heart failure management using a small pressure sensor permanently implanted in the pulmonary artery (PA). Daily uploaded PA pressures will be reviewed weekly to remotely guide medical management of patients w
