Welcome to CardioMEMS

CardioMEMS is a medical device company that has developed and is commercializing a proprietary wireless sensing and communication technology for the human body. Our technology platform is designed to improve the management of severe chronic cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure and aneurysms. Our miniature wireless sensors can be implanted using minimally invasive techniques and transmit cardiac output, blood pressure and heart rate data that are critical to the management of patients. Due to their small size, durability, and lack of wires and batteries, our sensors are designed to be permanently implanted into the cardiovascular system. Using radiofrequency, or RF, energy, our sensors transmit real-time data to an external electronics module, which then communicates this information to the patient’s physician.

Our first commercial device, the EndoSure® Wireless AAA Pressure Measurement System, consists of an implanted sensor and an external electronics module. The EndoSure sensor is inserted during the minimally invasive endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, or AAA, via a catheter into a patient’s aneurysm sac and measures and communicates pressure information to an external electronics module from inside the sac. We are adapting the technology used for our EndoSure system for use in patients with heart failure and in patients with hypertension. Our heart failure and hypertension sensors use the same materials, manufacturing methods, and operational concepts as the EndoSure sensor, but are further miniaturized.
