Devices and methods for the treatment of heart conditions, and other medical purposes, include cardiac pacing systems. For example, this document describes temporary transvenous endocardial pacemaker systems and devices for deploying such systems without the need for conventional imaging procedures.

Temporary pacemaker systems and deployment systems

This document provides devices and methods for monitoring health patient parameters using a wearable monitoring device. For example, this document provides monitoring devices with multiple sensors, multiple types of sensors, algorithms for managing the multiple sensors to enhance monitor performance, and for detection of health events using health parameter data that is acquired by the monitoring system.

Sensor types and sensor positioning for a remote patient monitoring system

Devices and methods can be used for artificial cardiac pacing and/or resynchronization. For example, this document provides improved electrodes for stimulating and sensing electrical activity of the heart, and provides pacing and resynchronization systems incorporating such electrodes. While the devices and methods provided herein are described primarily in the context of pacing, it should be understood that resynchronization can additionally or alternatively be performed in an analogous manner, and that the scope of this disclosure includes such subject matter.

Devices and methods for cardiac pacing and resynchronization

Systems, methods, devices, and techniques for analyzing and applying features of a T-wave derived from an electrocardiogram. A computing system can receive a set of data that characterizes an electrocardiogram of a patient. The system can analyze the set of data to identify a T-wave that occurs in the electrocardiogram. The system can determine values of one or more features of the T-wave and provide the information that identifies the values of the one or more features of the T-wave to a user.

Electrocardiogram analytical tool

Systems, methods, and other techniques for estimating the level of an analyte present in a patient during a time interval using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The estimate can be improved using information about the patient's posture.

ECG-based analyte assessments with adjustments for variances in patient posture

Systems and methods for epicardial pacing are provided. For example, this document provides epicardial pacing using a percutaneously delivered bifurcated pacing lead that has multiple electrodes that are directionally insulated to prevent extracardiac stimulation, including prevention of phrenic stimulation. In addition, the devices, systems, and methods provided can be used for ablation, defibrillation, and/or defibrillation in combination with pacing.

Multi-electrode epicardial pacing

This document relates to materials and methods for circulatory bypass of a ventricle in the heart of a mammal. For example, materials and methods for bypassing a permanently or temporarily impaired left ventricle in the heart of a mammal (e.g., a human) are provided.

Treating congestive heart failure

This document provides methods and materials related to the non-invasive measurement of analytes in blood.

Non-invasive monitoring of physiological conditions

Navigation and tissue capture systems and methods for navigation to and/or capture of selected tissue using the innate electrical activity of the selected tissue and/or other tissue are described. In the context of left atrial appendage closure, the systems and methods can be used to navigate to the left atrial appendage and capture/control the appendage while a closure instrument (suture, clip, ring) is placed over the appendage and tightened down or a closure method (ablation, cryogenic procedures, stapling, etc.) is performed to close the left atrial appendage. The use of innate electrical activity for navigating devices may be used in connection with other tissues and/or areas of the body.

Enhanced signal navigation and capture systems and methods

Methods and apparatus for inducing weight loss using blood flow control are described herein. The apparatus and methods operate by controlling blood flow to the stomach and/or small bowel.

Apparatus and methods of inducing weight loss using blood flow control

Devices and methods for ligating anatomical structures are provided herein. In particular, the devices and methods provided herein can be used to ligate the left atrial appendage. The ligating devices () comprise a ligating element () and a control element () which controls the opening of the ligating element in a loop or lariat shape. Some embodiments comprise also a positioning element () which help position the ligating element. In some embodiments a conduit () is provided for deploying the ligating element by inflating control.
