Patent ID: 8862229

Claim:
A system for collection and display of a cardiovascular pressure of a patient, wherein the patient has an implanted medical device capable of providing a stimulus to the patient's heart, the system comprising: (a) one or more cardiac cycle sensors capable of generating a first signal indicative of a characteristic of a cardiac cycle of the patient's heart; (b) one or more pressure sensors capable of generating a second signal indicative of a cardiovascular pressure of the patient; (c) one or more transmitters configured to transmit the first and second signal to a database capable of storing patient information in the form of cardiac cycle data and pressure data; (d) a processor configured to classify the cardiovascular pressure based on the cardiac cycle data, wherein the cardiac cycle data includes whether the cardiovascular pressure is determined during a cycle in which a stimulus was delivered to the patient's heart by the implantable medical device, whether the cardiac cycle is intrinsic at the time that the cardiovascular pressure is determined, what type of stimulus was applied that could affect the determined cardiovascular pressure or a combination thereof; and (e) a display showing the classification of the cardiovascular pressure.
