ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assisting cardiac function of a patient includes an inflatable chamber operably positionable with respect to an aorta of the patient, a percutaneous access device implantable with respect to a hypogastric region of the patient and connectible in fluid communication with the inflatable chamber, and a drive unit connectible through the percutaneous access device for selectively inflating and deflating the inflatable chamber in accordance with a control program stored in memory. The control program controls the drive unit in response to a periodically scheduled patient monitoring routine for measuring values of the physiology of the patient. The control program uses measured values as modified in accordance with the control program and physician programmable parameters for assisting cardiac function of the patient. The program includes the steps of automatically controlling the drive unit in response to a periodically scheduled patient monitoring routine for measuring values of physiology of the patient, and using measured values as modified in accordance with physician programmable parameters for assisting cardiac function of the patient. A software program is connectible in electronic communication with the control program for adjusting settings of the drive unit. The software program is capable of one or more of the following functions: retrieving current values of physician programmable parameters, selectively retrieving a history of the drive unit operation including error detection records, displaying a continuous ECG, and/or displaying a single-beat sample of aortic pressure waveform obtained in real time from the patient.
