SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING CARDIOVASCULAR PRESSURE

摘要

A method for modulating one or more functions of an implanted medical device is disclosed. The method includes measuring a cardiovascular pressure of a patient; evaluating the cardiovascular pressure based on one or more characteristics of a cardiac cycle of the patient at the time the pressure was measured; and modulating one or more functions of the device based on the pressure. Also disclosed is a method for assessing a cardiovascular pressure of a patient with an implanted medical device that includes detecting one or more characteristics of a cardiac cycle of the patient's heart; detecting the cardiovascular pressure of the patient; classifying the cardiovascular pressure based on one or more characteristics of the cardiac cycle of the patient's heart; and displaying the cardiovascular pressure along with the classification. Also disclosed is a system for collection and display of a cardiovascular pressure of a patient.
