Abstract: In some examples, a system may be used for delivering cardiac therapy or cardiac sensing. The system may include an in implantable medical device including a housing configured to be implanted on or within a heart of a patient, a fixation element configured to attach the housing to the heart; and a sensor configured to produce a signal that indicates motion of the implantable medical device. Processing circuitry may be configured to identify one or more impingements between the housing and another structure, such as a tissue of the heart, based on the signal from the sensor and provide an indication of the one or more impingements to a user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a prosthetic valve (1) for regulating fluid flow between an upstream side (4) and a downstream side (5) and being operable between an open status and a closed status. The prosthetic valve comprises: —an orifice (2) arranged in a surrounding member (3) and extending between the upstream side (4) and the downstream side (5) wherein in the open status of the prosthetic valve (1) the fluid flow through the orifice is maximally enabled and wherein in the closed status of the prosthetic valve the fluid flow through the orifice in a restriction direction (21) from the downstream side (5) to the upstream side (4) is restricted; and—a leaflet (6) arranged in the orifice and being operable between an open status corresponding to the open status of the prosthetic valve and a closed status corresponding to the closed status of the prosthetic valve. The prosthetic valve further comprises regurgitation means (8, 15, 115, 22) arranged in the prosthetic valve for achieving regurgitation in the restriction direction and arranged for becoming ineffective after a period of deployment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting atrial fibrillation of a subject, comprising a member comprising —mechanical connection means to wearably connect the member to a subject; —the member further comprising an optical sensor arranged to measure a signal representing a blood perfusion parameter of the subject; the member comprising the optical sensor and mechanical connection means at such relative positions that when the mechanical connection means connect the member to the subject, the optica! sensor operatively faces the subject. The device is arranged to detect atrial fibrillation of the subject based on the signal measured by the optical sensor.

Abstract: In some examples, a system can be used for delivering cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The system may include a pacing device configured to be implanted within a patient. The pacing device can include a plurality of electrodes, signal generation circuitry configured to deliver ventricular pacing via the plurality of electrodes, and a sensor configured to produce a signal that indicates mechanical activity of the heart. Processing circuitry can be configured to identify one or more features of a cardiac contraction within the signal, and determine whether the contraction was a fusion beat based on the one or more features.
