    摘要: A method of terminating ventricular fibrillation by the delivery of an asymmetric biphasic current pulse to three separate electrodes. A first catheter mounted electrode is located in the apex of the right ventricle (RV). A second electrode carried on the same catheter is located outside the atrium preferably in the superior vena cava (SV). A third plate electrode is located subcutaneously outside the chest cavity. Preferably, the SVC electrode and the subcutaneous plate electrode are electrically interconnected and an asymmetrical biphasic current pulse is applied between this electrode pair and the RV electrode to defibrillate the heart.

    摘要: A system and method of making a lesion on living tissue including providing an electrosurgical system, determining a desired lesion depth, selecting a power setting, and applying electrical energy to the living tissue. The system includes an instrument having an electrode at a distal portion thereof, and a power source having multiple available power settings. The power source is electrically connected to the electrode. The step of applying electrical energy includes energizing the electrode at the selected power setting for a recommended energization time period that is determined by reference to predetermined length of time information and based upon the desired lesion depth and the selected power setting. The system preferably further includes a fluid source for irrigating the electrode at an irrigation rate. In this regard, the predetermined length of time information is generated as a function of irrigation rate.

    摘要: A patient-controlled system for temporarily disabling an electrical cardioverting therapy in order to prepare the patient psychologically and physiologically for the pain associated with electrical cardioversion therapy. In an example embodiment, the system includes a capacitive circuit capable of charging and discharging in order to apply the electrical therapy. The implanted medical device automatically causes the capacitive circuit to charge and discharge at least once within a selected period. The system includes a patient activator device that communicates with the implanted device. A disabling circuit is also included within the implanted medical device that temporarily disables the electrical therapy application in response to the patient activator device. The system further includes an alerting arrangement that alerts the patient activator device in response to the disabling circuit. An override circuit overrides the temporary disabling of the electrical therapy application in response to the patient being in a relaxed mode.

    摘要: An atrial cardioverter and a method of its operation. The cardioverter measures an interval between successive R-waves, defines a ventricular escape interval as a function of the measured interval between successive R-waves and delivers a ventricular pacing pulse at the expiration of the ventricular escape interval in the absence of R-waves during the ventricular escape interval. The cardioverter defines a synchronization interval following delivery of the ventricular pacing pulse, and delivers an atrial cardioversion pulse synchronized to an R-wave occurring after expiration of the synchronization interval, absent R-waves during the synchronization interval.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the occurrence of a mis-location of an atrial electrode in a cardiac stimulation device having an atrial pulse generator coupled with the atrial electrode and a ventricular sense amplifier coupled to a ventricular electrode. The device paces the atrium in a first pacing mode employing atrial pacing pulses at a first energy level and in a test mode employs higher energy atrial pacing pulses. In the test mode the device measures PR intervals between atrial pacing pulses following sensed ventricular depolarizations and determines that the atrial electrode is mis-located responsive to occurrence of a threshold number of short PR intervals or that the atrial electrode is appropriately located responsive to occurrence of a threshold number of long PR intervals. Operation of the device in the test mode may be pre-conditioned on an absence of atrial tachyarrhythmia.

    摘要: An implantable anti-tachyarrhythmia device which delivers atrial cardioversion or defibrillation pulses heart in response to detection of atrial tachyarrhythmias. The pulses are synchronized to atrial and ventricular events in such a fashion as to assure they occur outside of the vulnerable periods associated with both chambers. The device is provided with a pulse synchronizer which defines a first synchronization interval initiated following a sensed atrial event and a second synchronization interval initiated responsive to a sensed ventricular event and a pulse triggerer which triggers delivery of a cardioversion or defibrillation pulse responsive to the first and second synchronization intervals simultaneously being underway. In particular, the pulse triggerer may be responsive to initiation of the first synchronization interval during the second synchronization interval. In addition, the synchronizer may also define minimum time intervals following ventricular events and the triggerer may additionally be responsive to expiration of a defined minimum time interval following a ventricular event preceding the sensed ventricular event which initiated the second synchronization interval currently underway.
