About this Video

Meet Cynthia, who recently had a CardioMEMS™ device implanted into her heart at Mary Washington Hospital. This leading-edge cardiac device has a remote sensor that works with a small home unit and sends data from her home to her cardiologist to watch for changes in her condition. Dr. Ashok Prasad, Interventional Cardiologist with MW Cardiology in affiliation with Oracle Heart & Vascular, explains how it works and the tremendous hope it provides for heart failure patients in our region.
