Valuable data can successfully be collected with the noninvasive wearable, which is worn on the sternum, report investigators developing the new system.
A simple, lightweight device worn on the sternum can calculate intracardiac filling pressures, warning that heart failure is worsening, according to a study conducted to determine whether the device can produce the data needed.
The CardioTag data were compared with pressure tracings from right heart catheterization, the current clinical gold standard, to develop an artificial intelligence model. The estimate of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was then tested in other patients to ensure its accuracy. Results were very accurate and comparable with those from implantable systems, reported the investigators.
Implantable pulmonary artery pressure sensors are also “very invasive and uncomfortable” for patients, as well as being expensive, Klein pointed out.
