    摘要: Systems and methods to monitor cardiac mechanical vibrations using information indicative of lead motion are described. In an example, a system including an implantable medical device can include an excitation circuit configured to provide a non-tissue stimulating, non-therapeutic electrical excitation signal to a portion of an implantable lead. A receiver circuit can be configured to obtain information indicative of a mechanical vibration of the implantable lead due at least in part to one or more of an impact of at least a portion of the heart to the implantable lead, or friction contact between the implantable lead and cardiac tissue. The system can include a processor circuit configured to determine one or more of a lead mechanical status, or information indicative of valvular activity using the information indicative of the mechanical vibration of the implantable lead.

    摘要: A system and method for narrowcasting text messages to a plurality of cellular phones. The system and method allow a potential user to opt in to receive the text messages the user wants to receive. The potential user can opt in through a computer network based web page. Once the potential user sends a sign up request application to participate via the computer network, the user will receive a first text message containing an authorization code on their cell phone. The user enters the authorization code into the web page and sends the authorization code. Receipt of the authorization code back through the computer network will trigger the phone number of the potential user to be added to a list of authorized text message receivers. A narrowcaster then instructs the central computer to narrowcast text messages to the phone numbers on the list that have indicated they want to receive messages on a certain topic.

    摘要: Cardiac stimulation methods and systems provide for multiple pulse defibrillation, and involve sensing a fibrillation event, determining a fibrillation cycle length associated with the fibrillation event, and delivering a plurality of defibrillation pulses to treat the fibrillation event. Defibrillation pulses are delivered using a combination of subcutaneous non-intrathoracic electrodes. Delivery of each defibrillation waveform subsequent to a first defibrillation waveform is separated in time by a delay associated with the fibrillation cycle length. Delays between defibrillation waveform delivery may be associated with a percentage of the fibrillation cycle length.

    摘要: An apparatus example comprises a cardiac signal sensing circuit configured to provide a sensed cardiac signal representative of cardiac depolarization events of a subject, a sampling circuit coupled to the cardiac signal sensing circuit, a therapy circuit, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sampling circuit and the therapy circuit. The controller includes a detection module configured to detect tachyarrhythmia using the cardiac signal and a signal analysis module configured to establish significant points (SPs) of the sampled cardiac signal, estimate heart rate during the tachyarrhythmia using the SPs, and provide an indication of whether noise is present in the cardiac signal using the SPs. The controller is configured to select a therapy for delivery by the therapy circuit in response to the tachyarrhythmia detection and to modify the selected therapy according to the heart rate estimation and the noise indication.
