    摘要: A system and automated method for assessing ventricular synchrony in ambulatory patients is provided including at least one mechanical sensor (e.g., accelerometer, tensiometric sensor, force transducer, and the like) operatively coupled to a first myocardial location in order to measure a wall motion signal of a first chamber, and a second mechanical sensor operatively coupled to a second myocardial location in order to measure a wall motion signal of a second chamber. The wall motion signals are processed in order to identify the time at which a fiducial (e.g., an inflection point, a threshold crossing, a maximum amplitude, etc.) occurs for each respective signal. The temporal separation between the fiducial points on each respective signal is measured as a metric of ventricular synchrony and can be optionally utilized to adjust pacing therapy timing to improve synchrony.

    摘要: The present invention relates to monitoring septal wall motion of the atrial and/or ventricular chambers of a heart for optimizing cardiac pacing intervals based on signals derived from the monitored wall motion. At least one lead of medical device is equipped with a motion sensor adapted to couple to septal tissue. The device receives and may post-process (e.g., suitably filter, rectify and/or integrate) motion signals to determine acceleration, velocity and/or displacement. During pacing interval optimization the wall motion is measured for those pacing intervals and the pacing interval setting(s) that produce minimal wall motion for chronic therapy delivery. In addition, methods for periodically determining whether to cease or resume delivery of a bi-ventricular pacing therapy to a patient that may have experienced beneficial reverse remodeling of the heart.

    摘要: In determining whether a patient has ischemia or other conditions discernible in the variation occurring in the ST portion of the electrocardiogram signal, we filter out bad ST change parameters that are not changing at a rate representative of human ischemia ST change parameter rates of change. This can be used for driving therapy systems to alleviate cardiac ischemia. This filtering can be enhanced by using multiple cardiac electrical vectors for the electrogram signal vectors, and using a determination of Axis shift to modify filter parameters and the expected ranges of precursors to the ST change parameter (an ST change variable) to eliminate bad cardiac cycles, that is cardiac cycle information that may be misleading.
