CARDIAC IMPLANT DEVICES WITH INTEGRATED PRESSURE SENSING

Abstract:

A sensor implant device includes a shunt structure comprising a flow path conduit and a plurality of arms configured to secure the shunt structure to a tissue wall, and a pressure sensor device attached to one of the plurality of arms of the shunt structure. The pressure sensor device comprises one or more sensor elements, an antenna, control circuitry electrically coupled to the one or more sensor elements and the antenna, and a housing that houses the control circuitry.
