Chronic Heart Failure
Conditions
Brief summary
Invasive hemodynamic monitoring in advanced heart failure patients is a relative new option. In order to investigate the impact of remote telemonitoring of pulmonary artery pressures on mortality and morbidity in a routine clinical setting in Germany, the investigators initiated this multicenbtric registry.
Detailed description
All patients who receive invasive hemodynamic monitoring using a pulmonary artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS device) are offered participation in the registry. Routine heart-failure parameters, lab values, medication and QoL as obtained on the regular outpatients visits in the department are entered into a registry-specific database. The investigators plan to asses the impact of telemonitoring on mortality, morbidity and QoL as well as on Guideline-recommended heart failure medication. In addition, it is planned to quantify the input in person time for telemonitoring.
