    Abstract: An implantable medical device includes an activity sensor, a pulse generator, and a control module. The control module is configured to determine an activity metric from the activity sensor signal over an activity metric interval and compare the activity metric to a loss of capture detection threshold. The control module may detect loss of capture in response to the activity metric being less than the loss of capture detection threshold and increase a pacing pulse output in response to detecting the loss of capture.

    Abstract: In some examples, a leadless pacing device (LPD) is configured to switch from a sensing without pacing mode to ventricular pacing mode in response to determining that no intrinsic ventricular activity was detected within a ventricular event detection window for at least one cardiac cycle, which may be referred to as loss of conduction. The ventricular pacing mode may be selected based on whether atrial oversensing is detected in combination with the loss of conduction. In some examples, an atrio-ventricular synchronous pacing mode is selected in response to detecting loss of conduction and in response to determining that atrial oversensing is not detected. In addition, in some examples, an asynchronous ventricular pacing mode is selected in response to detecting both atrial oversensing and loss of conduction.

    Abstract: Delivery tools of interventional medical systems facilitate deployment of relatively compact implantable medical devices that include extensions, for example, cardiac pacing devices that include an extension for atrial sensing, wherein an entirety of the device is contained within the delivery tool while a distal-most portion of the tool is navigated to a target implant site. Once at the implant site, a device fixation member may be exposed out from a distal opening of the tool, for initial deployment, while the extension remains contained within the delivery tool. The tool includes a grasping mechanism, operable, within and without a lumen of the tool, to alternately grip and release the device extension, for example, to position a distal end of the extension after the tool has been withdrawn from over an entirety of the initially deployed device.

    Abstract: A medical device system performs a method for determining pacing threshold data. Signals are received from a cardiac capture sensor and a phrenic nerve stimulation sensor. A cardiac capture threshold is determined from the cardiac capture sensor signal and a phrenic nerve stimulation threshold is determined from the phrenic nerve stimulation sensor signal for multiple pacing electrode vectors.

    Abstract: An intracardiac ventricular pacemaker is configured to detect a ventricular diastolic event from a motion signal received by a pacemaker control circuit from a motion sensor. The control circuit starts an atrial refractory period having an expiration time set based on a time of the detection of the ventricular diastolic event. The control circuit detects an atrial systolic event from the motion signal after expiration of the atrial refractory period and controls a pulse generator of the pacemaker to deliver a pacing pulse to a ventricle of a patient's heart at a first atrioventricular pacing time interval after the atrial systolic event detection.

    Abstract: According to some methods, for example, preprogrammed in a microprocessor element of an implantable cardiac pacing system, at least one of a number of periodic pacing threshold searches includes steps to reduce an evoked response amplitude threshold for evoked response signal detection. The reduction may be to a minimum value measurable above zero, for example, as determined by establishing a ‘noise floor’. Alternately, amplitudes of test pacing pulses and corresponding post pulse signals are collected and reviewed to search for a break, to determine a lower value to which the evoked response threshold may be adjusted without detecting noise. Subsequent to reducing the threshold, if no evoked response signal is detected for a test pulse applied at or above a predetermined maximum desirable pulse energy, an operational pacing pulse energy is set to greater than or equal to the maximum desirable in conjunction with a reduction in pacing rate.

    Abstract: A medical device and associated method evaluate vectors of a multi-dimensional accelerometer by receiving a signal from the accelerometer for each of the vectors and determining a metric from the signal for each of the vectors during a first sensing condition and during a second sensing condition. The difference between the metrics determined for the first sensing condition and the second sensing condition for each of the vectors is determined. One of the vectors is selected, based upon the determined differences, for monitoring the patient.
