    摘要: An implantable device having enhanced capabilities for monitoring a patient's heart rate and respiration trends over extended periods of time is disclosed. The information collected by the implantable device (10) may be stored and telemetered to an associated external device such as a devive programmer (420) for display and analysis. Heart rates are measured by measuring the time intervals between sensed depolarizations of a chamber of the patient's heart and preceding sensed depolarizations or delivered pacing pulses. Intervals may be measured in the ventricle and/or atrium of the patient's heart. According to another aspect of the invention, an implanted impedance sensor is employed to monitor minute ventilation. The heart rate and minute ventilation data is used to develp long-term trend data used f or diagnostic purposes. In one embodiment of the invention, heart interval and minute ventilation measurements are taken only during defined time periods of the night and/or day when the patient is at rest. A sensor (30) such as an activity sensor or metabolic rate sensor may be used to confirm patient inactivity.

    摘要: An implantable medical device system is described including an implantable medical device for implantation in a patient. One embodiment of the implantable medical device includes a therapy component for providing a therapy to the patient, a minute ventilation (MV) sensing circuit producing MV values indicative of a MV of the patient at time intervals, and computational circuitry. The computational circuitry receives a number of the MV values over a period of time, calculates a statistical parameter (e.g., a mean) of the MV values, and calculates a deviation of the MV values from the statistical parameter (e.g., a standard deviation of the MV values). The computational circuitry detects an onset of sleep in the patient when the deviation of the MV values from the statistical parameter is less than a predetermined MV threshold value, and signals the therapy component to modify the therapy when the onset of sleep is detected in the patient. A method is disclosed for providing therapy to a patient, including detecting an onset of sleep in the patient, and modifying the therapy following the detecting the onset of sleep in the patient.
