    摘要: Described herein are implantable systems and devices, and methods for use therewith, that can be used to perform arrhythmia discrimination. A plurality of different sensing vectors are used to obtain a plurality of different IEGMs, each of which is indicative of cardiac electrical activity at a different ventricular region. The plurality of different IEGMs can include, e.g., an IEGM indicative of cardiac electrical activity at a first region of the patient's left ventricular (LV) chamber and an IEGM indicative of cardiac electrical activity at a second region of the patient's LV chamber. Additionally, the plurality of different IEGMs can further include an IEGM indicative of cardiac electrical activity at a region of a patient's right ventricular (RV) chamber. For each of the IEGMs, there is a determination of a corresponding localized R-R interval stability metric indicative of the R-R interval stability at the corresponding ventricular region. This can include, e.g., determining, for each of the IEGMs, a plurality of R-R intervals corresponding to a plurality of consecutive cardiac cycles of the IEGM. For each IEGM, a measure of variation (e.g., standard deviation, range or variance, but not limited thereto) can then be determined for the plurality of R-R intervals to thereby determine the localized R-R interval stability metric for the IEGM. Arrhythmia discrimination is then performed using the plurality of determined localized R-R interval stability metrics.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for use with implantable cardiac stimulation devices equipped for multi-site left ventricular (MSLV) cardiac pacing. Briefly, intraventricular and interventricular conduction delays are detected for paced cardiac events. Maximum pacing time delays are determined for use with MSLV pacing where the maximum pacing time delays are set based on the conduction delays to values sufficient to avoid capture problems due to wavefront propagation, such as fusion or lack of capture. MSLV pacing delays are then set to values no greater than the maximum pacing delays and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is delivered using the MSLV pacing delays. In an example where an optimal interventricular pacing delay (VV) is determined in advance using intracardiac electrogram-based or hemodynamic-based optimization techniques, the optimal value for VV can be used as a limiting factor when determining the maximum MSLV pacing time delays.
