    摘要: A method and system for detecting microbubble formation during a radiofrequency ablation procedure. The method includes measuring an impedance of a pair of electrodes, at least one electrode in the pair of electrodes being coupled to a treatment assembly of a medical device. Radiofrequency ablation energy is transmitted between the pair of electrodes. The transmission of radiofrequency ablation energy between the pair of electrodes is terminated when after a predetermined period of time the measured impedance in either of the electrodes in the pair of electrodes is a predetermined percentage above a measured minimum impedance and a measured power is above a predetermined power threshold. An alert is generated indicating at least one of the formation and release of microbubbles proximate the pair of electrodes.

    摘要: A method of assessing lesion quality of an ablated tissue region comprising ablating at least a portion of the tissue region. The reactance of the ablated tissue region is measured at a plurality of frequencies. The lesion quality of the ablated tissue region is determined based on the measured reactance. For example, an untreated tissue reactance value and a predetermined thermally treated tissue region reactance threshold may be determined. The measured reactance at each of the plurality of frequencies is compared to the threshold to determine the lesion quality of the thermally treated tissue region. The thermal treatment of the tissue may be modified based on the lesion quality determination.

    摘要: In an implantable medical device that provides atrial and ventricular pacing in an atrial-based pacing mode, longer periods of time are permitted for intrinsic AV conduction to occur. By monitoring the patient's AV delay under these circumstances, useful information is obtained that can be correlated to other patient conditions or symptoms.
