Incorporation of the CardioMEMS™ System During an Exercise Physiology Test in a Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Patient Contributing to Medical Decision-Making

Pediatr Cardiol. 2022 Mar;43(3):695-699. doi: 10.1007/s00246-021-02758-z. Epub 2021 Oct 20.

Abstract

Exercise testing among the pediatric congenital heart disease population continues to transform and expand the way patients are evaluated and managed. We describe a case where a stress echocardiogram was performed while successfully collecting data from a previously implanted CardioMEMS™ HF system which helped guide decision-making.

Keywords: CardioMEMs; Congenital heart disease; Exercise testing; Pediatric cardiology.
