The patent filed by Edwards Lifesciences Corp. describes a method and system for monitoring heart valve function by placing transducers on a patient's body to receive signals indicating blood flow velocity profiles associated with the heart. The severity of dysfunction in a heart valve is determined based on identifying peaks in the blood flow velocity profiles, with the method allowing for differentiation between forward-flow and regurgitant-flow components to assess the dysfunction accurately. The system includes control circuitry to perform these functions and can determine whether the peak flow is associated with the mitral or aortic valve based on the direction of blood flow relative to the transducers.
Additionally, the patent details a method for calibrating the transducers by taking blood flow measurements using a handheld transducer before placement. The system can separate forward-flow and regurgitant-flow components by utilizing independent blood flow measurements from different transducers positioned at varying angles. The severity of dysfunction in the heart valves, such as aortic stenosis or mitral regurgitation, is determined based on the separated components of the blood flow peaks. Overall, the invention provides a comprehensive approach to monitoring heart valve function accurately and efficiently through the analysis of blood flow velocity profiles.
