SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A PARAMETER ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF A HEART

摘要

An intrabody implantable system (100) for long-term, real-time monitoring of at least one parameter associated with heart performance. The system (100) includes: (a) a first sensor (102) being implantable within a heart and being for collecting information pertaining to a pressure in a first cavity of the heart; (b) at least one additional sensor (106) being implantable in a blood vessel supporting blood flow into or out of a second cavity of the heart, the at least one additional sensor (106) being for collecting information pertaining to a pressure and a flow within the blood vessel; and (c) at least one device (110) implantable in the body and being in data communication with the first sensor (102) and the at least one additional sensor (106), the at least one device (110) being for receiving the information pertaining to the pressure in the first cavity of the heart and the information pertaining to the pressure and the flow within the blood vessel and for relaying the information outside of the body.
