| 1. A system for processing signals sensed by an implantable pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) sensor located within a pulmonary
artery, the system comprising:
an implantable medical device adapted to be communicatively coupled to the implantable PAP sensor via wireless telemetry,
the implantable medical device including:
a wireless communication circuit adapted to receive a PAP signal from the implantable PAP sensor; and
a PAP signal processor coupled to the wireless communication circuit, the PAP signal processor including a posture adjustment
module adapted to adjust the PAP signal using a posture signal and a signal isolation module adapted to isolate a plurality
of signals from the PAP signal; and
a posture sensor, communicatively coupled to the posture adjustment module, to sense the posture signal.
