CardioMEMS™ HF System Challenge – Beat the Pressure
Put your clinical judgment to the test in this interactive challenge. Working against the clock, you'll review heart failure patient profiles and decide who to intervene on before hospitalization occurs. As the challenge unfolds, discover how pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) monitoring provides earlier insights to support timely intervention and more informed heart failure management.
The CardioMEMS Challenge and the Failing Heart Walk experience are available throughout the day. Drop by the Abbott booth and participate at your convenience.
