First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring a right atrial pressure (RAP) and a left atrial pressure (LAP) for diagnosis of a heart condition, the method comprising:
- positioning a transseptal device with respect to a pulmonary artery to monitor at least one flow characteristic of blood through the pulmonary artery, the transseptal device configured to generate one or more signals representative of the at least one flow characteristic; and
detecting a right ventricular end diastolic pressure (RVEDP) and a left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) to facilitate monitoring the heart condition.

Abstract
A method for monitoring a right atrial pressure (RAP) and a left atrial pressure (LAP) for diagnosis of a heart condition includes positioning a transseptal device with respect to a pulmonary artery to monitor at least one flow characteristic of blood through the pulmonary artery. The transseptal device is configured to generate one or more signals representative of the at least one flow characteristic. A right ventricular end diastolic pressure (RVEDP) and a left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) are detected to facilitate monitoring the heart condition.

27. A system for diagnosing a heart condition, the system comprising:
-
a transseptal device positioned with respect to a pulmonary artery to monitor at least one flow characteristic of blood through the pulmonary artery, the transseptal device configured to generate at least one signal representative of the at least one flow characteristic to facilitate monitoring a right atrial pressure (RAP) and a left atrial pressure (LAP); and an external reader operatively coupled to the transseptal device, the external reader configured to; receive the at least one generated signal from the transseptal device representative of the at least one flow characteristic; process the at least one received signals; and generate an appropriate output representative of the at least one flow characteristic of blood through the pulmonary artery. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
