Abstract
Devices and methods of use are described for identification, treatment, and/or management of heart failure and/or associated conditions. An exemplary system may include a baroreflex activation device configured to be implantable proximate a blood vessel of a patient, a measurement device configured to be implantable proximate a blood vessel, and a control system coupled to the baroreflex activation device and the measurement device and in communication with a blood pressure sensing means. The control system is programmed to automatically determine pressure waveform data from the measurement device over a time period of at least a portion of one cardiac cycle, determine a patient physiological parameter based on the pressure waveform data, and compare the patient physiological parameter to a blood pressure measurement taken from the blood pressure sensing means.
