Publication number: 20230238146Abstract: The systems and methods described herein determine metrics of cardiac or vascular performance, such as cardiac output, and can use the metrics to determine appropriate levels of mechanical circulatory support to be provided to the patient. The systems and methods described determine cardiac performance by determining aortic pressure measurements (or other physiologic measurements) within a single heartbeat or across multiple heartbeats and using such measurements in conjunction with flow estimations or flow measurements made during the single heartbeat or multiple heartbeats to determine the cardiac performance, including determining the cardiac output. By utilizing a mechanical circulatory support system placed within the vasculature, the need to place a separate measurement device within a patient is reduced or eliminated. The system and methods described herein may characterize cardiac performance without altering the operation of the heart pump (e.g., without increasing or decreasing pump speed).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicants: ABIOMED, Inc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.Inventors: Qing Tan, Ahmad El Katerji, Noam Josephy, Elazer R. Edelman, Brian Yale Chang, Steven Keller, Sonya Sanat Bhavsar

Publication number: 20220257921Abstract: The systems and methods described herein determine metrics of cardiac performance via a mechanical circulatory support device and use the cardiac performance to calibrate, control and deliver mechanical circulatory support for the heart. The systems include a controller configured to operate the device, receive inputs indicative of device operating conditions and hemodynamic parameters, and determine vascular performance, including vascular resistance and compliance, and native cardiac output. The systems and methods operate by using the mechanical circulatory support device (e.g., a heart pump) to introduce controlled perturbations of the vascular system and, in response, determine heart parameters such as stroke volume, vascular resistance and compliance, left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and ultimately determine native cardiac output.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicants: ABIOMED, Inc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.Inventors: Ahmad El Katerji, Qing Tan, Christian Moyer, Alexander Ship, Sonya Sanat Bhavsar, Noam Josephy, Elazer R.

Publication number: 20220167862Abstract: The systems, devices, and methods presented herein use a heart pump to obtain measurements of cardiovascular function. The heart pumps described herein can operate in parallel with and unload the heart. The system can quantify the functioning of the native heart by measuring certain parameters/signals such as pressure or motor current, then calculate and display one or more metrics of cardiovascular function. These metrics, such as left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular pressure, and contractility, provide valuable information to a user regarding a patient's state of heart function and recovery.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicants: ABIOMED, Inc., Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Elazer Edelman, Brian Chang, Noam Josephy, Sonya Sanat Bhavsar
