Methods: Adult Suffolk sheep (N=6, 78±3 Kg) underwent placement of axial-flow LVAD. Each ... 11/30/06 - 20060271116 - Prediction of thoracic fluid accumulation This patent document discusses, among other things, systems, devices, and methods for predicting an occurrence of impending thoracic fluid accumulation and in one example, invoking a responsive therapy, such as to prevent or minimize the consequences of the impending thoracic fluid accumulation. One example of the present systems, devices, and ... 09/28/06 - 20060217771 - Potassium monitoring In general, the invention is directed to methods and devices for determining a potassium ion concentration in the extracellular fluid of a patient. A system includes an electrode deployed in or near a tissue, such as a skeletal muscle, of the patient. A pulse generator supplies one or more stimulations ... 10/27/05 - 20050240234 - Pulse detection apparatus, software, and methods using patient physiological signals The presence of a cardiac pulse in a patient is determined by evaluating physiological signals in the patient. In one embodiment, a medical device evaluates two or more different physiological signals, such as phonocardiogram (PCG) signals, electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, patient impedance signals, piezoelectric signals, and accelerometer signals for features indicative ... 10/27/05 - 20050240233 - Electrotherapy device Certain embodiments of the present invention disclose an implantable electrotherapy device comprising a housing in which are arranged an activity sensor, an impedance or conductivity measuring unit and an evaluation unit, wherein the evaluation unit is connected to the impedance or conductivity measuring unit and to the activity sensor and ... 10/20/05 - 20050234518 - Collecting activity and sleep quality information via a medical device A device, such as an implantable medical device (IMD), programming device, or other computing device determines when a patient is attempting to sleep. When the device determines that the patient is attempting to sleep, the device determines values for one or more metrics that indicate the quality of a patient's ... 10/20/05 - 20050234517 - Apparatus and method for hemodynamic-based optimization of cardiac pacing The present invention demonstrates that continuous hemodynamic monitoring can be used to identify the optimal AV-delay in a pacemaker-treated patient with end stage heart failure. The AV-delay determines the timing of late diastolic filling in relation to the onset of ventricular contraction and the duration of diastolic filling. An optimal ... 09/15/05 - 20050203579 - Real-time optimization of right to left ventricular timing sequence in bi-ventircular pacing of heart failure patients A system and automated method for assessing ventricular synchrony in ambulatory patients is provided including at least one mechanical sensor (e.g., accelerometer, tensiometric sensor, force transducer, and the like) operatively coupled to a first myocardial location in order to measure a wall motion signal of a first chamber, and a ... 07/28/05 - 20050165452 - Antithrombogenic medical device A therapy delivery and/or diagnostic device includes a layer of a catalytic agent, having nitrite reductase and/or nitrate reductase, or nitrosothiol reductase activity. The catalytic layer converts nitrate/nitrate or nitrosothiols to nitric oxide when in contact with blood. ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
