    摘要: A neurostimulation system measures a cardiac parameter at various cardiac intervals and analyzes its restitution, including computing a restitution slope being a rate of change of the restitution parameter with respect to change in the cardiac interval. In various embodiments, the system uses the restitution slope to provide for adaptive control of neurostimulation. In various embodiments, one or more cardiac parameters such as action potential duration (APD), conduction velocity (CV), QT interval (QT), and/or T-wave morphology (TM) parameter are measured and analyzed for restitution of each parameter, which is then used to control the delivery of the neurostimulation.

    摘要: An improved technique is described for dealing with the detection of fusion beats when capture verification is performed by a cardiac pacing device such as during a capture threshold determination procedure. Schemes for classifying heart beats may misclassify beats as fusion beats due to feature/morphology changes in the test electrogram waveform that may occur even when capture is achieved.

    摘要: Cardiac electrostimulation energy is delivered to a heart chamber of a subject according to a normal pacing mode using a set of implantable pacing electrodes. When a threshold test for the heart chamber is initiated and a sensing electrode independent from the set of pacing electrodes is unavailable for the heart chamber, cardiac electrostimulation energy is delivered to the subject according to a threshold test mode. The threshold test mode includes sensing a cardiac activity signal from a subject using a set of sensing electrodes that includes an electrode common to the set of pacing electrodes, and changing the electrostimulation energy and sensing a resulting cardiac activity signal using the set of sensing electrodes to determine the optimum electrostimulation energy for capture of the heart chamber.

    摘要: Approaches to rank potential left ventricular (LV) pacing vectors are described. Early elimination tests are performed to determine the viability of LV cathode electrodes. Some LV cathodes are eliminated from further testing based on the early elimination tests. LV cathodes identified as viable cathodes are tested further. Viable LV cathode electrodes are tested for hemodynamic efficacy. Cardiac capture and phrenic nerve activation thresholds are then measured for potential LV pacing vectors comprising a viable LV cathode electrode and an anode electrode. The potential LV pacing vectors are ranked based on one or more of the hemodynamic efficacy of the LV cathodes, the cardiac capture thresholds, and the phrenic nerve activation thresholds.

    摘要: Cardiac resynchronization therapy is delivered to a heart using an extended bipolar electrode configuration in accordance with programmed pacing parameters including a non-zero intraventricular delay. The extended bipolar electrode configuration comprises a left ventricular electrode defining a cathode of the extended bipolar electrode configuration and a right ventricular electrode defining an anode of the extended bipolar electrode configuration. A pace pulse is delivered to the left ventricular electrode and anodal stimulation of the right ventricle is detected based on the sensed response to the pace pulse.
