no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0064] Next, a first embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.

[0065] figure 2 It is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the left atrial pressure measurement device 800 in this embodiment. The left atrial pressure measurement device 800 of this embodiment is a computer system with the following parts, namely:

[0066] (1) Jugular venous pressure measuring device 810;

[0067] (2) Transthoracic echocardiography device 820;

[0068] (3) ECG device 830; and

[0069] (4) A processing device 840 that infers and calculates the left atrial pressure and stores it in time series.

[0070] The jugular venous pressure measuring device 810 of this embodiment is a known device that measures jugular venous pressure (JVP) through a jugular venous pressure measuring catheter 812 , and sequentially sends jugular venous pressure data to the processing device 840 .

[0071] The transthoracic echocardiography apparatus 820 is a heart u...

Abstract

A left atrial pressure measurement device includes: a measurement section that measures a first index value that indicates performance of a right ventricle, and a second index value that indicates performance of a left ventricle; and a calculation section that calculates a left atrial pressure using the first index value, the second index value, and a measured right atrial pressure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring left atrial pressure and the like. Background technique [0002] In evaluating cardiac function, in addition to blood pressure and cardiac output, left atrial pressure (LAP) is also important. Accordingly, various techniques for measuring left atrial pressure have been developed. For example, there is known a method that focuses on the passage of the esophagus through the front and back sides of the left atrium, inserts a catheter with a balloon at the tip into the esophagus, inflates it at a position adjacent to the left atrium, and measures the pressure in the balloon to measure the average left atrium pressure technology (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-142038 [0004] In the prior art described above, since it is necessary to indwell the balloon in the esophagus, a large burden has to be placed on the subject. ...
