A method and system of detecting phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient that includes detecting an activation event, obtaining a heart sound signal of a patient from an implanted heart sound sensor, determining that an electrical stimulation has been applied to the patient, in response to detecting the activation event, monitoring a portion of the heart sound signal, the portion defined by a predetermined window after the application of the electrical stimulation, and determining whether phrenic nerve stimulation occurred based on the portion of the heart sound signal.

A method for selecting a target vein for left ventricular lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy includes determining electrical dispersion for the first coronary vein by calculating the difference between (i) activation time at a location of the vein that has the latest activation time of a plurality of locations in the vein and (ii) activation time at a location that has the earliest activation time of the plurality of locations. The method may further include (ii) determining whether the magnitude of the electrical dispersion for the vein meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold selecting the vein if the vein meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold; or (ii) selecting, among several veins, the vein that has the highest electrical dispersion.

摘要:
An implantable medical device uses an implantable sensor for acquiring a physiological signal that is received by a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor is a multi-channel signal processor including a first signal processing channel having a first sensitivity for sensing the physiological signal and a second signal processing channel having a second sensitivity different than the first sensitivity for sensing the physiological signal.

A method and apparatus for determining a T-wave shock interval sense a cardiac electrogram (EGM) signal comprising a T-wave signal. A T-wave center is determined from the EGM signal, and a T-wave shock interval is determined in response to determining the T-wave center. A T-wave shock is delivered at the T-wave shock interval computed based on the T-wave center.
摘要:
An implantable medical device and associated method for automatically generating morphology templates during fast cardiac rhythms, confirming a provisional template as a confirmed template, and using the confirmed template to classify subsequent detected arrhythmias. A provisional SVT template may be created during a fast ventricular rate and activated as a confirmed SVT template upon verification that the fast rate was due to an SVT. The confirmed SVT template may be used to discriminate SVT from VT/VF.

A medical device and associated method for detecting arrhythmias that includes sensing cardiac electrical signals and cardiac hemodynamic signals, determining a long-term baseline hemodynamic measurement in response to a plurality of the sensed cardiac hemodynaic signals, detecting a period of increased metabolic demand in response to the sensed cardiac electrical signals, determining a sinus tachycardia baseline hemodynamic measurement in response sensing of cardiac hemododynamic signals during the detected period of increased metabolic demand, and detecting the arrhythmia and delivering therapy in response to one of only the sensed cardiac electrical signals and the sensed cardiac electrical signals in combination with one or both of the determined long-term baseline hemodynamic measurement and the sinus tachycardia baseline hemodynamic measurement
摘要:
A medical device and associated method for detecting arrhythmias that includes electrodes for sensing cardiac electrical signals and a hemodynamic sensor for sensing a hemodynamic signal. An episode of cardiac electrical event intervals meeting cardiac arrhythmia detection criteria is detected from the sensed electrical signals. Cardiac mechanical events and/or cardiac mechanical event intervals are measured from the hemodynamic signal and used to withhold or confirm a cardiac arrhythmia detection of the episode.

An implantable medical device and associated method sense cardiac signals for deriving a template representing a known EGM waveform morphology and for classifying an unknown waveform morphology. A boundary of the template, offset from the template, is computed and compared to an unknown waveform morphology for classifying the unknown waveform morphology.
摘要:
An implantable medical device system and method detect oversensing of cardiac signals. A cardiac signal including first events and second events is acquired. Cardiac events are sensed in response to the cardiac signal crossing a first threshold. A filtered cardiac signal is determined from the sensed cardiac signal, and a second threshold is determined from the filtered cardiac signal. A sensed cardiac event is classified either as a first event when the sensed cardiac event corresponds to a filtered cardiac signal peak crossing the second threshold or a second event when the sensed cardiac event corresponds to a filtered cardiac signal peak being less than the second threshold. Classification of sensed cardiac events as second events is used in determining oversensing.
