ABSTRACT:
An implantable system senses a pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) signal using an implantable sensor placed in the pulmonary artery and isolates a plurality of signals from the PAP signal for diagnostic and/or therapeutic use. Each signal is extracted from the PAP signal using its known frequency characteristics and/or timing relationship with one or more detectable events.
