Abstract:
Assessing heart failure progression in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is challenging given the multi-system nature of disease. Herein we describe the first case use of an implantable pulmonary artery pressure monitor and describe the potential clinical utility of this approach in patients with DMD.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
