    Abstract: A system for transluminal delivery of cardiac repair components into a heart includes a visualization catheter having an imaging device disposed at a distal end. An anchor lumen extends through the visualization catheter to an anchor port disposed on its distal wall. An adjustment mechanism is translatably disposed within the visualization catheter and configured to adjust a height of the anchor port relative to a septum of the heart. The imaging device may be used to visualize the placement of anchors expelled from the port into a tissue target. The adjustment mechanism enables accurate placement of multiple anchors along a consistent axis within the heart by rotating the visualization catheter to align the port with different tissue targets. The anchors may be coupled to sutures and the tissue targets may include papillary muscles that are reconfigured by pulling together and securing the sutures to approximate a healthy papillary structure.

    Abstract: An implant system and method of delivery includes a catheter system including a sling catheter having a plurality of distal openings and a delivery catheter, disposed within the sling catheter and having a distal port. Suture coupled anchors may be sequentially delivered by the delivery catheter to a cardiac treatment site by aligning the port of the delivery catheter with different openings of the sling catheter and pushing the anchor through the port and the sling catheter to embed the anchor into cardiac tissue such as tissue of a papillary muscle. Each anchor may have a linear configuration for translation within the delivery catheter and a biased configuration that inhibits its reentry into the sling catheter once deployed. Once all anchors are deployed, the suture may be tightened, the anchored portion of the sling catheter may be detached, and the catheter system withdrawn.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for regulating glucose levels, including treating diabetes, in accordance with the present disclosure may include a catheter having an expandable or inflatable portion, one or more electrodes disposed on the expandable or inflatable portion of the catheter, wherein the electrodes are configured to deliver energy to a patient's gastrointestinal tract, and a drug delivery mechanism for delivering a drug therapy subsequent to energy delivery by the electrodes. A method for regulating glucose levels according to the present disclosure may include inserting a catheter into a patient's gastrointestinal tract, positioning the catheter in a duodenum of the patient's gastrointestinal tract, expanding or inflating a portion of the catheter in the duodenum, the expandable or inflatable portion of the catheter including electrodes, applying energy to the duodenum via the electrodes to ablate tissue of the duodenum, and delivering a drug therapy to the ablated tissue of the duodenum.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for detecting and monitoring the exercise pressor reflex. In some embodiments, a medical system includes a first sensor connected to a user, wherein the first sensor detects an exertion metric of the user, and a second sensor connected to the user, wherein the second sensor detects a blood pressure metric of the user. The medical system may further include a processing component in communication with the first and second sensors, wherein the processing component is capable of processing the exertion metric and the blood pressure metric to determine an elevated blood pressure metric of the user based on a comparison between a baseline blood pressure metric and the detected blood pressure metric. The processing component may further determine an exercise pressor reflex (EPR) metric based on a comparison between the elevated blood pressure metric and the exertion metric.
