One Beat Ahead : A Leader in Heart Technology
At Renown Health , we recognize that heart care shouldn ’ t stop when you leave one of our locations . That ’ s why we place such importance on outpatient heart failure care ; our program is one of only eleven hospitals nationwide with a Heart Failure Outpatient Services Accreditation from the ACC for demonstrating exemplary care of patients post-discharge . In addition , Renown is one of the few certified CardioMEMS™ clinics in northern Nevada today and was the first health system in the region to implement the technology to monitor heart failure remotely . This advanced technology enables heart failure patients to monitor their pulmonary artery ( PA ) pressure without leaving the comfort of their homes . Renown ’ s remote monitoring approach allows our providers to intervene promptly , reducing the risk of heart failure , hospitalization and mortality .
In 2022 , our team enhanced the total Heart Failure Program volume and performed 25 CardioMEMs implantations .
