VERIFICATION OF PRESSURE METRICS

摘要

An example system may include at least one pressure sensor configured to measure a cardiovascular pressure signal and another medical device configured to measure an electrical depolarization signal of the heart. The system determines a plurality of cardiovascular pressure metrics based on the measured cardiovascular pressure signal, including at least one cardiovascular pressure metric indicative of a timing of at least one cardiac pulse. The system also determines a metric indicative of a timing of at least one heart depolarization within the measured electrical depolarization signal. The system compares the timing of the at least one cardiac pulse to the timing of the at least one depolarization, and determines whether to discard the plurality of cardiovascular pressure metrics based on whether the timings substantially agree.
