What is the CHAMPION Study?
The CHAMPION (CardioMEMS Heart Sensor Allows Monitoring of Pressure to Improve Outcomes in NYHA Class III HF Patients) Study is a clinical trial that investigated the use of a wireless implantable pulmonary artery pressure monitor versus usual care to manage patients with NYHA class III heart failure symptoms. The results of the study showed that those managed with implantable pulmonary artery pressure monitoring experienced more changes in GDMT and diuretic doses, and had a 28% relative reduction in HF hospitalization.
