  "summary_plain": "A trial in US adults with NYHA class III heart failure and a past hospital stay for heart failure. The registry results describe 550 implanted patients, and the registry says the sensor is implanted in the pulmonary artery. Clinicians used daily pressure readings from it to adjust care in the treatment group; the control group had standard care. Over 6 months, the treatment group had fewer hospital admissions for heart failure. Only the patients, not the clinicians, were masked to the assignment.",
  "summary_technical": "Industry-sponsored randomized single-blind trial (NCT00531661; the registry lead sponsor is CardioMEMS) of a wireless implantable hemodynamic monitoring system, the device that the US regulator approved under PMA P100045. The abstract of the main report gives 83 heart-failure-related hospitalisations in the treatment group (270 people) against 120 in the control group (280 people) at 6 months, hazard ratio 0.70 (95% CI 0.60 to 0.84). PubMed links an erratum (2012;379:412) that was not read. The registry count of 550 is the registry's actual enrollment; the abstract gives the two group sizes (270 and 280) for the 6-month analysis. The full text was not read. The abstract names CardioMEMS as the funder.",
