  • Cardiac lead incorporating strain gauge for assessing cardiac contractility
    Patent number: 6909919
    Abstract: For chronic monitoring of the effects of pacing and/or drug therapy in treating CHF, a strain gauge element is disposed at the distal end of a cardiac lead and is effective to produce a signal relating to the amount of flexure being induced into the lead by the beating action of the heart.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2002
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2005
    Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.
    Inventors: Mudit Jain, Qingsheng Zhu, Rodney W. Salo
  • Energy delivery optimization for RF duty cycle for lesion creation
    Publication number: 20050096644
    Abstract: A method of RF ablation includes choosing a duty cycle for an RF energy treatment depending on one or more static thermal properties of an electrode, and delivering the RF energy treatment to a tissue from the electrode. The method can include determining a thermal decay proximate the electrode, and changing a duty cycle of the RF energy depending on the thermal decay.

  • Sensors having protective eluting coating and method therefor
    Publication number: 20050070768
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an implantable device, such as a chronically implantable device that has a device body. One or more chemical sensors are coupled with the device body. A drug eluting substance is disposed at a location including at least one of on, directly adjacent, or near the one or more chemical sensors, where the drug eluting substance prevents fibrotic growth on the one or more chemical sensors.

  • Cardiac rhythm management systems and methods using acoustic contractility indicator
    Publication number: 20030216620
    Abstract: This document describes systems, devices, and methods that measure a distance between ultrasound or other acoustic transducers to provide a contractility or other therapy efficacy indication. In one example, the indication is communicated to a caregiver for assisting in the caregiver's determination of particular therapy settings. In another example, the indication is used in a feedback controller to automatically adjust one or more therapy parameters based at least in part on the indication.
