    摘要: A method and system for response to ambient noise in implantable pulse generator. At least one cardiac signal is sensed with an implantable pulse generator. Cardiac depolarizations are identified in the at least one cardiac signal and cardiac depolarization markers are generated. The at least one cardiac signals are then analyzed for a noise event during a refractory period following the detected cardiac depolarization. The refractory period includes a noise window interval during which noise events are recognized. When a noise event, or events, occur during the noise window interval a first noise marker is generated. The noise window interval is then repeated as long as noise is detected in the noise window intervals. When the noise persists for a predetermined time interval a second noise marker is generated.

    摘要: Miniature defibrillators and cardioverters detect abnormal heart rhythms and automatically apply electrical therapy to restore normal heart function. Therapy decisions are typically based on the time between successive beats of various chambers of the heart, such as the left atrium and left ventricle. To prevent confusing a left ventricle beat for a left atrium beat, some devices use cross-chamber blanking, a technique which disables sensing of atrial beats for a certain time period after sensing. Conventionally, these devices lack any mechanism for adjusting length of this period. Accordingly, the inventor devised a implantable device including a mechanism for adjusting this time period. This mechanism ultimately allows tailoring of the cross-chamber blanking period to fit the needs of individual patients.

    摘要: A system and method for passively testing a cardiac pacemaker in which sensing signal amplitudes and lead impedance values are measured and stored while the pacemaker is functioning in its programmed mode. The amplitude and impedance data may be gotten and stored periodically at regular intervals to generate a historical record for diagnostic purposes. Sensing signal amplitudes may also be measured and stored from a sensing channel which is currently not programmed to be active as long as the pacemaker is physically configured to support the sensing channel. Such data can be useful in evaluating whether a switch in the pacemaker's operating mode is desirable.

    摘要: An implantable pulse generator senses a cardiac signal, identifies cardiac events in the cardiac signal, and starts a blanking interval including a repeatable noise window blanking interval in response to each cardiac event. When noise is detected during the repeatable noise window blanking interval, the noise window blanking interval is repeated. In one embodiment, the duration of repeated repeatable noise window blanking intervals is summed and compared to a pacing escape interval. When the sum is greater than the pacing escape interval, asynchronous pacing pulses are delivered until the noise ceases. Alternatively, when the sum is greater than the pacing escape interval, the pace escape interval is repeated.

    摘要: A cardiac rhythm management (CRM) system includes an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and an external system. The ICD detects a tachyarrhythmia episode and classifies the detected tachyarrhythmia episode using none, one, or more of detection enhancements selected according to a selection command including a classification mode. The detection enhancements are each an algorithm for detecting and analyzing one or more indications of a type of the detected tachyarrhythmia episode. The external system allows a user to select the classification mode from a plurality of available classification modes each using none, one, or more of the detection enhancements.
