SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A CARDIAC RESYNCHRONISATION DEVICE/THERAPY USING BIOMARKER PANEL DATA

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure are related to systems and methods for utilizing biomarker panel data with respect to medical devices and methods, amongst other things. In an embodiment, a medical system is included having an external programmer device; and an implantable medical device, the implantable medical device configured to communicate with the programmer through a telemetry interface. The external programmer device can be configured to receive data regarding levels of one or more of a panel of biomarkers in a biological sample of a patient; the panel of biomarkers including at least one selected from the group consisting of CRP, SGP-130, sIL-2R, sTNFR-n, IFNg, BNP, sST2, MMP-2, MMP-9, TEVIP-1, TEVIP-2, and TIMP-4. The external programmer device can be configured to process the data regarding the levels of one or more of the panel of biomarkers. In an embodiment, a method of predicting the likelihood of response to CRT therapy in included. Other embodiments are also included herein.
