Valve implant with integrated sensor and transmitter

A transcatheter heart valve assembly comprising:

• a transcatheter heart valve comprising:
• a support frame that is radially collapsible for delivery in a catheter and expandable for deployment in a patient, the support frame comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface;
• and
• a valve structure that is radially collapsible, the valve structure comprising a plurality of valve leaflets, the valve structure being disposed within the support frame and fixed to the interior surface of the support frame;
• a sensor device configured to sense a physiological parameter and provide a sensor signal based on the sensed physiological parameter;
• and
• a transmitter assembly tethered to the transcatheter heart valve, the transmitter assembly being electrically coupled to the sensor device, the transmitter assembly being configured to wirelessly transmit a transmission signal that is based at least in part on the sensor signal.
