Systems comprising an implantable component for treating pulmonary hypertension
First Claim
1. A system for treating pulmonary hypertension, the system comprising:
- an implantable component comprising a compliant member coupled to a reservoir via a conduit, the compliant member adapted to be implanted in a pulmonary artery and the reservoir adapted to be implanted subcutaneously, the implantable component further comprising an anchor configured to secure the compliant member within the pulmonary artery;
a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a sensed parameter associated with the implantable component, the signal indicative of the sensed parameter configured to be wirelessly transmitted to a wireless device; and
a non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor of the wireless device operatively coupled to the sensor, cause a graphical user interface to display information indicative of the sensed parameter associated with the implantable component based on the signal from the sensor.

Abstract
A system for treating heart disease, such as pulmonary hypertension or right heart failure, including an implantable component and external components for monitoring the implantable component is provided. The implantable component may include a compliant member, e.g., balloon, coupled to a reservoir via a conduit. Preferably, the compliant member is adapted to be implanted in a pulmonary artery and the reservoir is adapted to be implanted subcutaneously. The external components may include a clinical controller component, monitoring software configured to run a clinician'"'"'s computer, a patient monitoring device, and a mobile application configured to run on a patient'"'"'s mobile device.
