Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has become the first hospital in Abu Dhabi to implant a wireless heart monitoring device that can help doctors spot early signs of worsening heart failure before symptoms start.

The new device is made for people living with chronic heart failure. It lets doctors monitor patients remotely, so treatment can start earlier and the risk of hospital admission can be reduced.

The device is a small wireless sensor placed in the pulmonary artery, the blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. It measures blood pressure continuously and sends the readings securely to the patient’s medical team for close follow-up.

By watching pressure changes over time, doctors can see when heart failure may be getting worse and adjust medicines or treatment plans before the condition becomes more serious.

The implant is for patients with moderate to severe heart failure who have been admitted to hospital at least once in the past 12 months because of the condition, even after receiving treatment.

The first two patients to receive the implant in Abu Dhabi were Emirati men aged 62 and 79. Both had been admitted to hospital several times because of worsening heart failure.

The procedure is done in the hospital’s cardiac catheterisation lab under local anaesthesia and mild sedation. It usually takes one to two hours. Most patients are monitored for up to 24 hours after the procedure, and some can go home the same day. Many can return to normal daily activities within one to two days.

The introduction of this technology adds to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s cardiovascular services. The hospital is recognised as a Centre of Excellence for adult cardiac surgery by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and was ranked the No. 1 hospital in the Middle East for cardiology in Newsweek’s Best Specialised Hospitals Middle East 2026 rankings.

Hospital officials said the new technology shows its commitment to offering advanced heart failure care and more personalised treatment for patients across the UAE.
