Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus comprises one or more physiological sensing circuits that generate a sensed physiological signal and at least one of the physiological sensing circuits is implantable, a measurement circuit configured to recurrently measure one or more physiological parameters that indicate a status of heart failure of the subject, a comparison circuit configured to compare the one or more physiological parameter measurements to one or more physiological parameter target values, a therapy circuit configured to control delivery of one or more drugs to treat heart failure, and a control circuit in electrical communication with the comparison circuit and the therapy circuit and configured to recurrently adjust delivery of drug therapy according to the comparison of the measured physiological parameters to the physiological parameter targets.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The claimed invention is: 1. An apparatus comprising: one or more physiological sensing circuits including an implantable sensing circuit and an external sensing circuit, wherein the implantable physiological sensing circuit is configured to provide a first sensed physiological signal and the external sensing circuit is configured to provide a second sensed physiological signal, wherein the second sensed physiological signal is representative of at least one of: weight of the subj…
