Welcome to PCV

Precision Cardiovascular is developing a next-generation, low-effort heart failure monitoring system designed to support care team workflows based on pulmonary artery pressure, electrophysiological rhythm, and activity monitoring. PCV’s technology is being developed to support clinician review and broader clinical use over time, subject to clinical validation and regulatory review.

PCV’s system is currently in development and has not been approved or cleared for commercial use. Features, claims, regulatory pathway, reimbursement assumptions, and commercial projections remain subject to validation, regulatory review, and market access decisions. The system is intended to support clinician review and is not intended to make autonomous diagnosis, triage, or treatment decisions.

How it works

Turning readings into better clinical decisions

01

After the procedure and discharge, the patient uses the PCV Reader as directed by the care team. The implant is passive and has no battery.

The patient returns home after implantation

02

The Reader captures planned measurements

03

Relevant changes are presented for clinical review

The Signal

A single reading can miss changes that occur across the day

The SIgnal

What makes the PCV data different

Patient-specific interpretation

Each patient has a different baseline. PCV is being designed to interpret repeated measurements against that baseline and the conditions in which they were taken.

Compare like with like

Compare pressure during similar states, such as rest, sleep or a repeated activity. This can make trends easier to interpret than isolated readings taken under different conditions.

CLINICAL WORKFLOW

One haemodynamic signal, with the context needed to interpret it

PCV is designing its remote monitoring platform to place the relevant pressure trends, measurement conditions and supporting signals together, reducing the time spent reconstructing what happened.

Sustained pressure elevation at rest
Resting and overnight pressure trends, viewed with posture and sleep-wake context, may help a care team identify sustained elevation that warrants review.
Resting pressure elevation
With resting and overnight PA pressure trends plus posture context, PCV helps highlight sustained pressure elevation at rest, providing clearer clinical context for care teams.

The Impact

Why pulmonary artery pressure matters in heart failure care

Haemodynamic change can precede symptoms

Haemodynamic change can precede symptoms

Pulmonary artery pressure can rise before a patient feels worse, creating an opportunity for earlier clinical review.

Randomised and prospective studies have established pulmonary artery pressure-guided management as an important approach in selected patients with heart failure.

Where we are going

A path toward passive, repeated monitoring

PCV’s longer-term aim is to capture measurements within daily routines with little or no action from the patient. This planned capability has not yet been clinically established.
