Latest Patents

One of her latest patents is titled "Optimization of pacemaker settings with R-wave detection." This system provides crucial information to facilitate the efficient optimization of programmer settings for cardiac pacemakers. It simultaneously measures a patient's electrocardiogram and peripheral blood pressure waveform to calculate, in real-time and non-invasively, a value correlated to the pre-ejection time (PET) and, optionally, ejection duration (ED) for the patient's left ventricle. The peripheral pulse waveform can be monitored with a wrist-mounted tonometer or a suitable brachial cuff device. The time difference between the occurrence of the R-wave on the ECG trace and the foot of the pulse on the radial blood pressure waveform is defined as a surrogate pre-ejection time interval (SPET). Data, including the electrocardiogram and peripheral pulse trace, as well as the calculated SPET for each heartbeat, is displayed on a computer monitor. This allows a physician or nurse to quickly optimize PET for the patient and adjust programmer settings for an implanted pacemaker.

Another patent by Naqvi is simply titled "Optimization of pacemaker settings." Similar to her previous work, this system also provides information to facilitate efficient optimization of programmer settings for cardiac pacemakers. It uses simultaneous measurement of a patient's electrocardiogram and peripheral blood pressure waveform to calculate, in real-time, a value correlated to the patient's pre-ejection time (PET) and, optionally, ejection duration (ED) for the patient's left ventricle. The peripheral blood pressure waveform is preferably monitored with a wrist-mounted tonometer. Data, including the electrocardiogram and peripheral blood pressure trace, as well as the surrogate pre-ejection time interval (SPET) for each heartbeat, is displayed on a computer monitor. This enables a physician or nurse to quickly optimize PET for the patient and adjust programmer settings for an implanted pacemaker.
