Abstract: A method for monitoring a cardiovascular pressure in a patient may include storing, in a memory of an implantable medical device system and in association with each one or more different patient postures, a respective offset value for the cardiovascular pressure of the patient. The one or more offset values may be determined based on a distance between an implantable pressure sensing device and an anatomical structure of the patient, a location of the implantable pressure sensing device within the patient, or one or more dimensions an anatomical structure of the patient. The method further includes determining a measured value of the cardiovascular pressure and a posture of the patient when the value of the cardiovascular pressure was measured, selecting a stored offset value associated with the current patient posture, and determining an adjusted cardiovascular pressure value based on the selected offset value and the measured cardiovascular pressure value.

Abstract: Systems, devices disclosed provide example methods comprising determining that a triggering event has occurred based on statuses for a set of physiological parameters associated with the patient, the physiological parameters indicative of the patient engaging in a patient initiated physical activity, generating a trigger output signal in response to the determination that the triggering event has occurred, wirelessly transmitting the trigger output signal to a pressure sensing device implanted in a vessel of the patient, triggering, based on receiving the trigger output signal, the pressure sensing device to sense a cardiovascular pressure of the patient; and transmitting, by the pressure sensing device, a wireless signal comprising data corresponding to the sensed cardiovascular pressure of the patient.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a cardiovascular pressure in a patient includes measuring, by pressure sensing circuitry of an implantable pressure sensing device, the cardiovascular pressure of the patient. The method further includes transmitting, via wireless communication circuitry of the implantable pressure sensing device, the measured cardiovascular pressure to another device. The method further includes determining, by processing circuitry of the other device, whether a posture of the patient at a time of the measured cardiovascular pressure was a target posture for cardiovascular pressure measurements. The method further includes determining, by the processing circuitry of the other device, whether to store or discard the transmitted cardiovascular pressure based on determining whether the posture was the target posture.

Abstract: An implantable medical device, such as a sensor for monitoring a selected internally detectable physiological parameter of a patient, is attached to a fixation assembly that is deployable within the patient to position and orient the sensor to enable it to perform its function. The fixation assembly is formed having at least one flexible asymmetric connector where each fixation member includes a plurality of loops, wherein a first loop of the plurality of loops has a maximum pitch that is different from a maximum pitch of a second loop of the plurality of loops. The attachment of the housing and the fixation assembly includes providing a tubular member that is welded to the housing and crimped over a section of the fixation assembly.

Abstract: A method of stimulation therapy and an apparatus for providing the therapy which addresses cardiac dysfunction including heart failure. The therapy employs atrial pacing pulses delivered to a heart after the atrial refractory period and timed so that they will not cause a ventricular contraction. These atrial pacing are timed to achieve beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics (efficacy) while maintaining an extremely low level of risk of arrhythmia induction. These methods may be employed individually or in combinations in an external or implantable ESS therapy delivery device.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) communicates with an external processing unit by transmitting device data and configuration information that describes the device data. The external processing unit processes the device data for display based on the configuration information. The IMD notifies the external processing unit of a change to characteristics of the device data by transmitting the changed device data and updated configuration information.

Abstract: An extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) therapy addresses cardiac dysfunction including heart failure. ESS therapy employs atrial and/or ventricular extra-systoles via pacing-level stimulation to a heart. These extra-systoles must be timed correctly to achieve beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics (efficacy) while maintaining an extremely low level of risk of arrhythmia induction and excellent ICD-like arrhythmia sensing and detection (security). The present invention relates to therapy delivery guidance and options for improved ESS therapy delivery. These methods may be employed individually or in combinations in an external or implantable ESS therapy delivery device.
