Development of a permanently implanted cardiac-pressure sensor
21 Aug 2006
Abstract
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is one of the high-risk ailments having over 5 million patients in the US with an annual expenditure of $40 billions in CHF treatments. Cardiac failures are often associated with the hemodynamic status of the heart; this could accurately be determined by developing a permanently implanted cardiac-pressure sensor facilitating long term and reliable measurement. The use of MEMS fabrication for device development and implementation of wireless technology gives an attractive package as a solution for the CHF patients.
