A method of sensing a physiological parameter involves advancing a delivery catheter to a right atrium of a heart of a patient via a transcatheter access path, advancing the delivery catheter through an interatrial septum wall into a left atrium of the heart, deploying a distal anchor of a sensor implant device from the delivery catheter, anchoring the distal anchor of the sensor implant device to a first pulmonary vein, withdrawing the delivery catheter away from the first pulmonary vein, thereby exposing at least a portion of a sensor module of the sensor implant device in the left atrium, deploying a proximal anchor of the sensor implant device from the delivery system, anchoring the proximal anchor of the sensor implant device to a second pulmonary vein, and withdrawing the delivery catheter from the heart. |
