摘要: Techniques for controlling one or more modular circuits (“satellites”) that are intended for placement in a subject's body. The one or more satellites are controlled by sending signals over a bus that includes first and second conduction paths. Also coupled to the bus in system embodiments is a device such as a pacemaker that provides power and includes control circuitry. Each satellite includes satellite circuitry and one or more effectors that interact with the tissue. The satellite circuitry is coupled to the bus, and thus interfaces the controller to the one or more effectors, which may function as actuators, sensors, or both. The effectors may be electrodes that are used to introduce analog electrical signals (e.g., one or more pacing pulses) into the tissue in the local areas where the electrodes are positioned (e.g., heart muscles) or to sense analog signals (e.g., a propagating depolarization signal) within the tissue.

摘要: Methods and systems of the present invention provide for measurement of various cardiac parameters. Methods generally involve causing a change in volume and/or pressure in a heart chamber, measuring the change, and calculating at least one cardiac parameter based on the change. Systems typically include at least one actuator, at least one sensor, and a catheter or other device for positioning at least partially in a heart chamber. In some embodiments, the system may also include a controller, such as a computer or other processor, an external actuator, an external sensor, and/or an ECG device. Methods and systems of the invention may be used to more accurately diagnose cardiac conditions in order to make more informed treatment decisions.

摘要: Each sensor in one or more pairs of sensors is associated with a particular tissue, for example a first tissue location and a second tissue location respectively. Tissue at a particular tissue location may be solid, for example, muscle tissue, fat tissue, etc., or fluid, for example, blood, fluids associated with edema, etc. The area between the two tissue locations associated with a pair of sensors may comprise solid tissue, fluid tissue, an empty chamber, or combinations thereof. For each pair of sensors in the at least one pair of sensors, a first impedance measurement between the pair of sensors and associated with a first frequency is determined. For each pair of sensors in the at least one pair of sensors, a second impedance measurement between the pair of sensors and associated with a second frequency is determined. A comparison of a ratio of the first impedance measurement at a point in time to the second impedance measurement at a corresponding point in time may be made to determine a volume-related value associated with an area located between the first tissue location and the second tissue location.

摘要: The system of the present invention includes a conductive element, an electronic component, and a partial power source in the form of dissimilar materials. Upon contact with a conducting fluid, a voltage potential is created and the power source is completed, which activates the system. The electronic component controls the conductance between the dissimilar materials to produce a unique current signature. The system can also measure the conditions of the environment surrounding the system.
