    摘要: A system and method for detecting and discriminating atrial arrhythmias based on mechanical signals of cardiac wall motion and electrical signals of cardiac depolarizations. A mechanical event rate determined from sensed mechanical events is used to corroborate an electrical event rate determined from sensed EGM or ECG signals to classify the heart rhythm. If the event rates are not correlated, other parameterized data from the mechanical signal and electrical signal are evaluated to detect evidence of an arrhythmia. If electrical and mechanical event data do not corroborate a common arrhythmia condition, electrical and mechanical sensing parameters may be adjusted.

    摘要: An AV search method and apparatus is taught with some variation. It allows a pacemaker to find the appropriate AV interval so as to avoid pacing in the ventricle when it is not necessary, even if there is intermittent AV conduction in the patient. Also, there is an adaptive PVARP method and apparatus that allows the PVARP and AV interval to be adjusted together automatically.

    摘要: A dual chamber pacemaker is provided having capability for adjusting the AV escape interval so as to optimize the timing of delivered ventricular pace pulses for therapy of patients with cardiomyopathy. The pacemaker system continually monitors to determine when a delivered pace pulse results in a fusion beat, and periodically adjusts the AV escape interval in accordance with the percentage or rate of incidence of such fusion beats. In one specific embodiment, the pacing system determines the percentage of delivered ventricular pace pulses which are followed by fusion beats over a predetermined number of intervals, and decrements AV escape interval when such percentage is not below a predetermined minimum. The pacing system also periodically increments AV escape interval when the rate of fusion beats is acceptable, thereby providing a closed loop system for maintaining the AV interval at an optimally long value consistent with maximizing full capture by delivered ventricular pace pulses. In another embodiment, the V--V escape interval of a non-tracking mode pacemaker is controlled to optimize pre-excitation of the ventricle.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for cardiac pacing, which provides for delivery of pacing pulses at an increased rate in response to a detected rapid drop in heart rate. A rapid drop may be detected in response to a drop of greater than a defined amount from the highest detected heart rate, over a preceding time period. Alternatively, an unbroken sequence of pacing pulses delivered at a base pacing rate may trigger pacing at an increased pacing rate.
