  • Pulmonary artery pressure change monitor
    Patent number: 11647978
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices to infer changes in pulmonary artery pressure in a subject using Doppler radar. A portable, non-invasive device for non-invasively measuring right ventricular cardiac motion that can be used in a subject's home can infer pulmonary artery pressure changes to increase patient compliance and mitigate the likelihood of heart decompensation. A mobile pulmonary artery pressure monitor can be especially useful to patients with congestive heart failure who are elderly, incapacitated, or do not have easy access to a clinic, doctor's office, or hospital.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2023
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Xiaomeng Gao, Xiaonan Jiang, Xiaoguang Liu, Dennis Matthews, Saul Schaefer

  • INHIBITORS OF SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE TO INHIBIT OR PREVENT NIACIN-INDUCED FLUSHING
    Publication number: 20120046251
    Abstract: The invention discloses methods of using cis-epoxyeicosantrienoic acids (“EETs”), inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (“sEH”), or a combination of an EET and an inhibitor of sEH, to reduce or prevent niacin-induced cutaneous vasodilation (“flushing”) in subjects suffering from this undesirable side effect of receiving therapeutic amounts of niacin.

  • Method for protection of heart by limiting metabolic and ionic abnormalities developed during ischemia following ischemia or resulting from ischemia
    Patent number: 6034109
    Abstract: A therapeutic and prophylactic method for protection of heart or heart tissue by limiting metabolic and ionic abnormalities developed during, following or associated with ischemia by administering to a subject in need either a compound which reduces NADH/NAD.sup.+ ratio and stimulates glycolysis to produce ATP or a compound which inhibits cotransporter of sodium-potassium-chloride.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 1998
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2000
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Ravichandran Ramasamy, Saul Schaefer
