Abstract
A method for monitoring a cardiovascular pressure in a patient may include storing, in a memory of an implantable medical device system and in association with each one or more different patient postures, a respective offset value for the cardiovascular pressure of the patient. The one or more offset values may be determined based on a distance between an implantable pressure sensing device and an anatomical structure of the patient, a location of the implantable pressure sensing device within the patient, or one or more dimensions an anatomical structure of the patient. The method further includes determining a measured value of the cardiovascular pressure and a posture of the patient when the value of the cardiovascular pressure was measured, selecting a stored offset value associated with the current patient posture, and determining an adjusted cardiovascular pressure value based on the selected offset value and the measured cardiovascular pressure value.
