    摘要: An implantable medical device having an hermetically sealed enclosure housing electrical and electronic circuitry and a battery for powering such circuitry is connected to an intracranial lead or pigtail which measures or senses intracranial physiologic signals such as intracranial fluid pressure and/or temperature. The implantable medical device is preferably implanted subcutaneously beneath a patient's skin and telemeters stored data or real-time-sensed data to an external device which may be configured to combine barometric pressure data with intracranial pressure data to derive intracranial gage pressure. The implantable medical device and its associated lead reduce the risk of intracranial infections.

    摘要: An implantable barometric pressure sensor coupled with an implantable medical device (IMD) provides a barometric pressure related, reference pressure value for use in combination with an absolute pressure value measured by an implantable absolute pressure sensor coupled to the IMD. In one embodiment, the barometric pressure sensor is implanted under the skin and subcutaneous tissue layer at or near the implant site of the IMD. In variations of this embodiment, the barometric pressure is formed as part of a connector module of the IMD or extends from the connector module. In a further embodiment, a percutaneous access device is provided which is adapted to be implanted to extend through the skin and subcutaneous tissue layer of the patient and is coupled with the barometric pressure sensor to provide for an air chamber extending between the atmosphere and the barometric pressure sensor. The barometric pressure sensor is preferably enclosed within an air chamber of the implantable medical device, and a catheter extends between the air chamber of the implantable medical device and the percutaneous access device. Or the barometric pressure sensor is enclosed within an air chamber of the percutaneous access device, and a lead extends between the barometric pressure sensor and the implantable medical device.

    摘要: A system and method for determining a patient's cardiac output in a non-invasive manner and transmitting cardiac output data to a remote host processor, a communications system, or a local output device is disclosed. A non-invasive cardiac monitoring approach utilizes an implantable medical device coupled to an oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor provides venous oxygen saturation data to the implantable medical device. An oxygen consumption unit produces oxygen consumption data using air exhaled by a patient. A processing unit calculates a cardiac output result in real-time using the venous oxygen saturation data, the oxygen consumption data, and arterial oxygen saturation data assumed to be about 100% or acquired using a sensor external to the patient. The implantable medical device may transmit the venous oxygen saturation data to the processing unit using electromagnetic signals or acoustic signals. The implantable medical device may be a pacemaker, a pacemaker/cardioverter/defibrillator (PCD), an oxygen sensing device, or an implantable hemodynamic monitor. The processing unit may store the cardiac output data/result for a period of time and/or communicate the cardiac output result to the remote host processor substantially in real-time via a communications interface. The interface may include a modem, a computer interface, a network interface, or a communications system interface, for example. The processing unit may communicate the cardiac output result to the remote host processor in an analog, digital or optical form.

    摘要: An implantable medical device (IMD) performs periodic testing of a patient to determine ischemia threshold information. At selected times while the patient is at rest, the IMD increases the pacing rate over time until it receives feedback either from the patient or from an ischemia sensor. The IMD determines the threshold based upon the pacing rate at the time when the feedback was received. The threshold information can be used to adjust the upper pacing rate that can be used during rate adaptive pacing, to determine the effects of drug therapy, and to provide a general indication of the state of coronary artery disease in the patient. The periodic increase of pacing rate to the ischemic zone also provides a preconditioning of the myocardium to allow the patient greater exercise benefit without angina.
