摘要:
An area of a patient can be mapped with a system operable to identify a plurality of locations and save a plurality of locations of a mapping instrument. The mapping instrument can include one or more electrodes that can sense a voltage that can be correlated to a three dimensional location of the electrode at the time of the sensing or measurement. Therefore, a map of an area or volume can be determined based upon the sensing of the plurality of points without the use of an imaging device. An implantable medical device can then be navigated relative to the mapping data.

摘要:
An implantable medical device system including an implantable blood pressure sensor extracts a baseline signal from the sensed blood pressure signal and subtracts the extracted baseline signal from the sensed blood pressure signal to obtain a corrected pressure monitoring signal. The corrected pressure signal is monitored to detect a cardiac-related condition.
摘要:
Systems and methods for improving hemodynamic data interpretation by accounting for the effects of patient posture is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a posture signal is acquired and used to categorize hemodynamic data according to posture to facilitate distinguishing posture-related changes in acquired hemodynamic data from those due to pathophysiologic changes. Posture information may be used to normalize data acquired in various postures to facilitate interpretation of such data. Baseline measurements of hemodynamic data acquired in various postures may also be used to subsequently detect changes in patient posture without the need for an implanted posture sensor.
摘要:
An implantable medical device system and corresponding method to monitor blood pressure by transforming a measured pressure signal to estimate a blood pressure metric or waveform corresponding to a target site. An implantable sensor generates a signal corresponding to blood pressure at a first arterial branch location and a processor receiving the signal applies a transfer function to the signal to derive a blood pressure metric or waveform at a target site.

摘要:
A medical device and associated method detect ischemia using stimulation delivered to induce respiration. A spontaneous breathing response to the stimulation-induced respiration is determined. Ischemia is detected in response to the spontaneous breathing response. The spontaneous breathing response is measured as a response to adjusting a parameter controlling the stimulation.
