    摘要: A system and method are described for testing communication through a patient during implantation using telemetry coupling electrodes on a delivery catheter. In one example, at least two telemetry coupling electrodes may be placed on or within a delivery catheter to test conductive communication with external body electrodes during implantation. In some instances, the telemetry coupling electrodes of the delivery catheter may approximate the spacing of telemetry electrodes on an IMD. In this manner, testing conductively coupled communication with telemetry coupling electrodes of the catheter may be used to mimic the telemetry electrodes on the IMD and determine a target position and/or orientation of an electrode or electrodes of the IMD for successful conductive communication through the body.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for treating cardiac arrhythmias are provided. An interval between first and second consecutive beats of a heart, having first and second chamber types, is determined. The heart is paced at a first rate if the first beat is from the first chamber type and the second beat is from the second chamber type and the interval is less than a predetermined amount of time or if the first and second beats are both from the second chamber type. The heart is paced at a second rate if the first beat is from the first chamber type and the second beat is from the second chamber type and the interval is more than the predetermined amount of time.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for automatic determination of a pacemaker patient's pacing stimulation threshold. Circuitry is provided in a pacemaker for obtaining a signal reflecting cardiac impedance, which is known to reliably reflect certain aspects of cardiac function. Circuitry is also provided for monitoring the cardiac impedance waveform during a predetermined capture detect window following delivery of stimulating pulses. One or more values are derived which characterize the morphology of the impedance waveform during the capture detect window associated with each stimulation pulse delivered. These values are compared to predetermined control values in order to assess whether a stimulation pulse has achieved cardiac capture. The assessment of whether cardiac capture has been achieved is also based partly upon the conventional sensing of atrial and/or ventricular cardiac signals occurring during the capture detect window. In one embodiment of the invention, the control values against which impedance waveform characterization values are compared are obtained by delivering a series of stimulation pulses having sufficient energy to ensure that capture is achieved, and by monitoring the impedance waveform during delivery of these pulses.

    摘要: A rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker implements a novel pacing mode, identified as ADIR/VVIR, which is especially effective for patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome and only intermittent atrioventricular block. Within the same pacemaker circuitry, an AAIR pacemaker and a VVI pacemaker (with an escape rate below that of the AAIR pacemaker) are provided with atrial blanking following both atrial and ventricular events. Ventricular blanking after atrial pacing is minimized for better detection of R-waves following an atrial paced event.

    摘要: A pacemaker having a fault-tolerant elective replacement indicator (ERI) triggering scheme in which transient excursions of parameters used as criteria for triggering ERI are rejected as triggering events. Periodic assessments of certain indicia of battery depletion are made, and subjected to a long-term low-pass filtering operation in order to reduce the effects of transient excursions of the indicia which result from non-ERI conditions. Over a long period of time (e.g., a day) predetermined threshold values of the indicia of interest must be exceeded a predetermined number of times in order for the device to issue an ERI. In one disclosed embodiment of the invention, the battery's loaded terminal voltage and internal impedance are used as indicators of the battery's depletion level. Periodically, these values are measured and converted to digital values. The digital values are subjected to a low-pass filtering operation to prevent temporary or transient excursions of the impedance and voltage curves from causing ERI to be triggered. In another disclosed embodiment of the invention, a long term fading average of periodically measured values is maintained. When the measured values are found to fulfill the ERI criteria, assessment of the parameters of interest is performed at an increased rate. While assessments are performed at the increased rate, the continuously updated fading average value must fulfill the ERI triggering criteria at least a predetermined number of times before ERI is triggered. If the fading average fails to fulfill the ERI triggering criteria the required number of times, assessments are resumed at the first, slower periodic rate.
