Systems and methods for heart failure management

摘要

The present document discusses medical device systems and related methods. In an embodiment, a medical device system can include a cardiac device. The cardiac device can include a processor, a memory, a communications circuit, and one or more sensors. The cardiac device can be configured to engage a sensor mode specific for patients receiving or having implanted ventricular assist devices. The cardiac device can be configured to process data as specified by the sensor mode specific for patients receiving or having implanted ventricular assist devices. In an embodiment, a method for monitoring heart failure patients is discussed. In an embodiment, a method of controlling devices for heart failure patients is discussed. Other embodiments are also included herein.

1. A medical device system comprising:
a cardiac device comprising;
a controller;a memory;a communications circuit; andone or more sensors; wherein the cardiac device configured to:
engage a sensor mode specific for patients receiving or having implantable ventricular assist devices different than and separate from the cardiac device;process data as specified by the sensor mode specific for the patients receiving or having the implantable ventricular assist devices; andgenerate or adjust operation parameters of the cardiac device or the implantable ventricular assist devices based on the processed data.
