    Introduction

    Hemodynamic monitoring measures blood pressure inside the heart, veins, and arteries. It’s

    often done in a hospital for patients with acute heart failure. Implantable hemodynamic

    monitoring devices have been developed for outpatient use. The device measures the pressure

    of the pulmonary artery (which transports blood from the heart to the lungs) and the heart rate.

    The data is transmitted through a computerized system to the patient’s doctor. The goal of the

    device is to try to see the early signs of acute heart failure and prevent hospitalizations. In the

    studies published so far, there is limited data about safety and no demonstration that the

    devices save more lives. There are also unanswered questions about whether these devices

    reduce hospitalization. For these reasons, implantable hemodynamic monitoring devices are

    considered investigational (unproven).

    Note: The Introduction section is for your general knowledge and is not to be taken as policy coverage criteria. The

    rest of the policy uses specific words and concepts familiar to medical professionals. It is intended for

    providers. A provider can be a person, such as a doctor, nurse, psychologist, or dentist. A provider also can

    be a place where medical care is given, like a hospital, clinic, or lab. This policy informs them about when a

    service may be covered.

    This policy refers only to the use of stand-alone cardiac output measurement devices designed

    for use in ambulatory care and outpatient settings. The use of cardiac hemodynamic monitors or

    intrathoracic fluid monitors that are integrated into other implantable cardiac devices, including

    implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, and cardiac

    pacing devices are not addressed in this policy.

    Evidence Review

    Description

    A variety of outpatient cardiac hemodynamic monitoring devices are intended to improve

    quality of life and reduce morbidity for patients with heart failure by decreasing episodes of

    acute decompensation. Monitors can identify physiologic changes that precede clinical

    symptoms and thus allow preventive intervention. These devices operate through various

    mechanisms, including implantable pressure sensors, thoracic bioimpedance measurement, inert

    gas rebreathing, and estimation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure by arterial pressure

    during the Valsalva maneuver.

    Background

    Chronic Heart Failure

    Patients with chronic heart failure are at risk of developing acute decompensated heart failure,

    often requiring hospital admission. Patients with a history of acute decompensation have the

    additional risk of future episodes of decompensation and death. Reasons for the transition from

    a stable, chronic state to an acute, decompensated state include disease progression, as well as

    acute events such as coronary ischemia and dysrhythmias. While precipitating factors are

    frequently not identified, the most common preventable cause is noncompliance with

    medication and dietary regimens.1

  • Page | 4 of 12 ∞

    Management

    Strategies for reducing decompensation, and thus the need for hospitalization, are aimed at

    early identification of patients at risk for imminent decompensation. Programs for early

    identification of heart failure are characterized by frequent contact with patients to review signs

    and symptoms with a health care provider, education, and medication adjustments as

    appropriate. These encounters may occur face-to-face in the office or at home, or via cellular or

    computed technology.2

    Precise measurement of cardiac hemodynamics is often employed in the intensive care setting

    to carefully manage fluid status in acutely decompensated heart failure. Transthoracic

    echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and Doppler ultrasound are noninvasive

    methods for monitoring cardiac output on an intermittent basis for the more stable patient but

    are not addressed herein. A variety of biomarkers and radiologic techniques may be used for

    dyspnea when the diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure is uncertain.

    The criterion standard for hemodynamic monitoring is pulmonary artery catheters and central

    venous pressure catheters. However, they are invasive, inaccurate, and inconsistent in predicting

    fluid responsiveness. Several studies have demonstrated that catheters fail to improve outcomes

    in critically ill patients and may be associated with harm. To overcome these limitations, multiple

    techniques and devices have been developed that use complex imaging technology and

    computer algorithms to estimate fluid responsiveness, volume status, cardiac output and tissue

    perfusion. Many are intended for use in outpatient settings but can be used in the emergency

    department, intensive care unit, and operating room. Four methods are reviewed here:

    implantable pressure monitoring devices, thoracic bioimpedance, inert gas rebreathing, and

    arterial waveform during the Valsalva maneuver. Use of the last three is not widespread because

    of several limitations including use of proprietary technology making it difficult to confirm their

    validity and lack of large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate treatment decisions

    guided by these hemodynamic monitors.

    Summary of Evidence

    For individuals who have heart failure in outpatient settings who receive hemodynamic

    monitoring with an implantable pulmonary artery pressure sensor device, the evidence includes

    RCTs. The relevant outcomes are overall survival, symptoms, functional outcomes, quality of life,

    morbid events, hospitalizations, and treatment-related morbidity. One implantable pressure

    monitor, the CardioMEMS device, has U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. The

    pivotal CHAMPION RCT reported a statistically significant decrease in heart failure-related

  • Page | 5 of 12 ∞

    hospitalizations in patients implanted with CardioMEMS device compared with usual care.

    However, trial results were potentially biased in favor of the treatment group due to use of

    additional nurse communication to enhance protocol compliance with the device. The

    manufacturer conducted multiple analyses to address potential bias from the nurse

    interventions. Results were reviewed favorably by the FDA. While these analyses demonstrated

    the consistency of benefit from the CardioMEMS device, all such analyses have methodologic

    limitations. Early safety data have been suggestive of a higher rate of procedural complications,

    particularly related to pulmonary artery injury. Given that the intervention is invasive and

    intended to be used for a highly prevalent condition, in the light of limited safety data, lack of

    demonstrable mortality benefit, and pending questions related to its benefit in reducing

    hospitalizations, the net benefit remains uncertain. Many of these concerns may be clarified by

    an ongoing postmarketing study that proposes to enroll 1200 patients (at least 35% women) is

    reported. The evidence is insufficient to determine the effects of the technology on health

    outcomes.

    For individuals who have heart failure in outpatient settings who receive hemodynamic

    monitoring by thoracic impedance, with inert gas rebreathing, or of arterial pressure during the

    Valsalva maneuver, the evidence includes uncontrolled prospective studies and case series. The

    relevant outcomes are overall survival, symptoms, functional outcomes, quality of life, morbid

    events, hospitalizations, and treatment-related morbidity. There is a lack of RCT evidence

    evaluating whether the use of these technologies improves health outcomes over standard

    active management of heart failure patient. The case series have reported physiologic

    measurement-related outcomes and/or associations between monitoring information and heart

    failure exacerbations, but do not provide definitive evidence on device efficacy. The evidence is

    insufficient to determine the effects of the technology on health outcomes.

    Practice Guidelines and Position Statements

    American College of Cardiology et al

    The joint guidelines from the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, and

    Heart Failure Society of America (2017) on the management of heart failure offered no

    recommendations for the use of ambulatory monitoring devices.23

    European Society of Cardiology

    The European Society of Cardiology guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of acute and

    chronic heart failure stated the following: “Monitoring of pulmonary artery pressures using a

    wireless implantable hemodynamic monitoring system (CardioMEMS) may be considered in

    symptomatic patients with heart failure with previous heart failure hospitalization in order to

    reduce the risk of recurrent heart failure hospitalization (Class IIb Level B recommendation).”23

    National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

    The updated guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (2018) on

    chronic heart failure management did not include outpatient hemodynamic monitoring as a

    recommendation.24

    https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02954341?term=NCT02954341&rank=1https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03387813?term=NCT03387813&rank=1https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01121107?term=NCT01121107&rank=1https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00409916?term=NCT00409916&rank=1

  • Page | 7 of 12 ∞

    The Institute (2013) issued guidance on the insertion and use of implantable pulmonary artery

    pressure monitors in chronic heart failure.25 The recommendations concluded that “Current

    evidence on the safety and efficacy of the insertion and use of implantable pulmonary artery

    pressure monitors in chronic heart failure is limited in both quality and quantity.”

    Heart Failure Society of America

    The Heart Failure Society of America Scientific Statements Committee (2018) published a white

    paper consensus statement on remote monitoring of patients with heart failure.26

    The committee concluded that: "Based on available evidence, routine use of external RPM

    devices is not recommended. Implanted devices that monitor pulmonary arterial pressure

    and/or other parameters may be beneficial in selected patients or when used in structured

    programs, but the value of these devices in routine care requires further study."

    Medicare National Coverage

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (2014) updated its 2006 decision memorandum

    on thoracic electrical bioimpedance.27 Medicare’s national coverage determination found

    thoracic bioimpedance to be reasonable and necessary for the following indications:

    1. Differentiation of cardiogenic from pulmonary causes of acute dyspnea;

    2. Optimization of atrioventricular interval for patients with atrioventricular sequential cardiac

    pacemakers;

    3. Monitoring of continuous inotropic therapy for patients with terminal heart failure;

    4. Evaluation for rejection in patients with a heart transplant as a predetermined alternative to

    myocardial biopsy; and

    5. Optimization of fluid management in patients with congestive heart failure.

    While Medicare permits coverage of thoracic bioimpedance in these conditions, it has

    acknowledged that there is a “…general absence of studies evaluating the impact of using

    thoracic bioimpedance for managing patients with cardiac disease….” Medicare does not cover

    the use of thoracic bioimpedance in the management of hypertension due to inadequate

    evidence.

  • Page | 8 of 12 ∞

    Medicare has also specified that thoracic bioimpedance is not covered for “the management of

    all forms of hypertension (with the exception of drug-resistant hypertension…).” Further,

    Medicare specified that:

    [Contractors] have discretion to determine whether the use of TEB [thoracic bioimpedance]

    for the management of drug-resistant hypertension is reasonable and necessary. Drug

    resistant hypertension is defined as failure to achieve goal blood pressure in patients who

    are adhering to full doses of an appropriate 3-drug regimen that includes a diuretic.

    There is no Medicare national coverage determination on implantable direct pressure

    monitoring, inert gas rebreathing, and arterial pressure with Valsalva.

    Effective April 7, 2016, Novitas Solutions issued a noncoverage local coverage determination (ID

    L36419) for outpatient wireless pulmonary artery pressure monitoring for heart failure

    (CardioMEMS).

    Regulatory Status

    Noninvasive Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure Measurement Devices

    In 2004, the VeriCor® (CVP Diagnostics), a noninvasive left ventricular end-diastolic pressure

    measurement device, was cleared for marketing by FDA through the 510(k) process. The FDA

    determined that this device was substantially equivalent to existing devices for the following

    indication:

    The VeriCor is indicated for use in estimating non-invasively, left ventricular end-diastolic

    pressure (LVEDP). This estimate, when used along with clinical signs and symptoms and

    other patient test results, including weights on a daily basis, can aid the clinician in the

    selection of further diagnostic tests in the process of reaching a diagnosis and formulating a

    therapeutic plan when abnormalities of intravascular volume are suspected. The device has

    been clinically validated in males only. Use of the device in females has not been

    investigated.

    Thoracic Bioimpedance Devices

    Multiple thoracic impedance measurement devices that do not require invasive placement have

    been cleared for marketing by the FDA through the 510(k) process. The FDA determined that

    this device was substantially equivalent to existing devices used for peripheral blood flow

    monitoring. Table 2 presents an inexhaustive list of representative devices

    Also, several manufacturers market thoracic impedance measurement devices integrated into

    implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillator devices, and cardiac resynchronization

    therapy devices.

    Inert Gas Rebreathing Devices

    In 2006, the Innocor® (Innovision), an inert gas rebreathing device, was cleared for marketing by

    FDA through the 510(k) process. The FDA determined that this device was substantially

    equivalent to existing inert gas rebreathing devices for use in computing blood flow. FDA

    product code: BZG.

    Implantable Pulmonary Artery Pressure Sensor Devices

    In 2014, the CardioMEMS™ Champion Heart Failure Monitoring System (CardioMEMS, now

    Abbott) was cleared for marketing by the FDA through the premarket approval process. This

  • Page | 10 of 12 ∞

    device consists of an implantable pulmonary artery (PA) sensor, which is implanted in the distal

    PA, a transvenous delivery system, and an electronic sensor that processes signals from the

    implantable PA sensor and transmits PA pressure measurements to a secure database.3 The

    device originally underwent FDA review in 2011, at which point FDA found no reasonable

    assurance that the monitoring system would be effective, particularly in certain subpopulations,

    although FDA agreed this monitoring system was safe for use in the indicated patient

    population.4

    Several other devices that monitor cardiac output by measuring pressure changes in the PA or

    right ventricular outflow tract have been investigated in the research setting but have not

    received FDA approval. They include the Chronicle® implantable continuous hemodynamic

    monitoring device (Medtronic), which includes a sensor implanted in the right ventricular

    outflow tract, and the ImPressure® device (Remon Medical Technologies), which includes a

    sensor implanted in the PA.

    Note: This policy only addresses the use of these technologies in ambulatory care and

    outpatient settings.
