Zusammenfassung:Endocardial pressure measurement devices, systems and methods for effective treatment of congestive heart failure and its underlying causes, in addition to other clinical applications. A representative device includes an implantable pressure measuring system including a pressure transducer (31) and a fluid filled catheter (34), the catheter having a proximal portion (34A) and a distal portion (34B). The proximal portion (34a) is connected to the pressure transducer (31) and the distal portion (34b) has an opening (36) with a barrier (26). The proximal portion (34a) is relatively crush-resistant and the distal portion (34b) is relatively flexible. Endocardial pressure measurement devices, systems and methods for the effective treatment of congestive heart failure and its underlying causes, in addition to other clinical applications. L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des systèmes et des procédés de mesure de la pression endocardique permettant de traiter de manière efficace une insuffisance cardiaque congestive et les causes sous-jacentes associées, conjointement avec d'autres applications cliniques.
