In the abovementioned video, cardiologist Bhatt explains that when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, the blood pressure rises and the body starts to retain fluid, which eventually manifest as symptoms. Therefore, the treatment goal is to control the blood pressure before related complications occur. CardioMEMS is one such device, which after being implanted in the patient’s body allows the monitoring physician to detect rising blood pressure in the pulmonary artery of the patient. The doctor then can immediately start treating, without waiting for the symptoms to occur. This prevents worsening of the patient’s condition and quick diagnosis of heart failure (Cardiac.broadcastmed.com,
