Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for determining cardiac performance in the patient. The apparatus includes a conductance catheter for measuring conductance and blood volume in a heart chamber of the patient. The apparatus includes a processor for determining instantaneous volume of the ventricle by applying a non-linear relationship between the measured conductance and the volume of blood in the heart chamber to identify mechanical strength of the chamber. The processor is in communication with the conductance catheter. Methods for determining cardiac performance in a patient. Apparatuses for determining cardiac performance in a patient.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for determining cardiac performance in a patient from a plurality of desired wave forms received from electrodes placed in the patient and in communication with a heart chamber of the patient comprising: a data acquisition mechanism for receiving and separating the plurality of desired wave forms at desired frequencies from the electrodes; and a computer for determining instantaneous volume of a ventricle of the heart chamber by applying a non…
