LAP SIGNAL PROCESSING TO AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATE A/V RATIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18680019 titled 'LAP SIGNAL PROCESSING TO AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATE A/V RATIO
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes systems and methods for monitoring and treating cardiac conditions using left atrial pressure. A pressure sensor implanted in the left atria records pressure signals that can be used to calculate an A/V ratio with clinical significance, guiding treatment decisions.
- Left atrial pressure sensor implanted in the patient's heart
- Records pressure signals to calculate A/V ratio
- Clinical significance for guiding treatment decisions
- Can be part of an open or closed loop automated treatment system
Potential Applications: - Monitoring and treating cardiac conditions - Guiding treatment decisions based on left atrial pressure - Automating treatment processes for better patient care
Problems Solved: - Lack of real-time data on left atrial pressure for treatment decisions - Inability to calculate A/V ratio accurately without invasive procedures - Limited options for automated treatment systems based on physiological data
Benefits: - Improved monitoring and treatment of cardiac conditions - Personalized treatment plans based on individual left atrial pressure - Enhanced efficiency and accuracy in treatment decisions
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Cardiac Monitoring and Treatment System This technology can be used in hospitals, cardiac clinics, and other healthcare facilities to enhance cardiac care for patients. It can also be integrated into medical devices for continuous monitoring and treatment optimization.
Questions about Cardiac Monitoring and Treatment using Left Atrial Pressure: 1. How does left atrial pressure monitoring improve treatment outcomes for cardiac patients?
- Left atrial pressure monitoring provides real-time data that can guide treatment decisions and optimize therapy for better patient outcomes.
2. What are the potential risks associated with implanting a pressure sensor in the left atria?
- The risks may include infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding tissues during the implantation procedure. Close monitoring and proper care can help mitigate these risks.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for cardiac monitoring and treatment using left atrial pressure are described herein. In many aspects, a pressure sensor implantable into the left atria of a patient's heart records a pressure signal. The left atrial pressure can be used to calculate an A/V ratio, which has clinical significance, and in turn can be used to guide treatment and/or as part of an open or closed loop automated treatment system.
