The purpose of the HF2 (Hemodynamic Frontiers in Heart Failure) registry is to collect relevant patient-level demographic, clinical, laboratory, and hemodynamic data from patients implanted with pulmonary artery pressure sensor at participating centers to advance scientific knowledge about ambulatory hemodynamics monitoring and HF (Heart Failure) therapies. The data collected will be used for retrospective studies, quality improvement, identifying research cohorts, and member-initiated research.
Longitudinal, multi-center, and non-interventional registry. Patients will be identified as eligible for pulmonary artery pressure sensor implant by a heart failure cardiologist from the heart failure clinic. They will consent for device implant and procedure (right heart catheterization) per standard of care. Patients may also consent to the registry participation, which is optional. They will be informed that the registry intends to gather data and that they may be approached in the future for additional research based on their data and clinical situation. Additionally, patients who underwen…
Inclusion Criteria: 1. All patients would have been or will be implanted per indications from FDA approval/CHAMPION trial. These would be patients with NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class III heart failure who had a prior hospitalization. 2. Patients who meet the expanded FDA indication (BNP elevation without hospitalization or NYHA class II). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients less than 18 years of age. 2. Pregnant women at the scheduled time of PA pressure sensor implant. 3. Patients unable or unwilling to have continuity of care in the heart failure clinic.
We are collecting information for both retrospective and prospective arm to further understand the utility of PA pressure sensors.
