    摘要: A pacemaker initiates and times a monitoring interval in response to an event such as a therapy delivery to a patient. The monitoring interval is specified to include a duration of an anticipated acute response to the event, such as vagal surge. One or more physiological parameters indicative of the acute response are detected during the monitoring interval for analyzing therapeutic effect of the event. In various embodiments, one or more pacing parameters are adjusted for a response interval specified to include the duration of the anticipated acute response to allow for the analysis and maximization of the therapeutic effect. In various embodiments, the event includes a session of pacing therapy delivered according to an intermittent cardiac stress augmentation pacing protocol, and the therapeutic effect is analyzed to adjust that protocol.

    摘要: Various system embodiments comprise a myocardial stimulator, at least one sensor adapted for use in detecting heart rate to determine heart rate turbulence (HRT), and a controller connected to the myocardial stimulator and the at least one sensor. The myocardial stimulator is adapted to deliver pacing pulses through at least one electrode to provide cardiac pacing. The controller is adapted to intermittently deliver a sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses adapted to increase sympathetic tone during the stress-inducing pacing. The controller is further adapted to determine HRT from the detected heart rate to assess cardiac stress to the stress-inducing pacing pulses, and adjust at least one parameter of the stress-inducing pacing pulses to adjust cardiac stress if the cardiac stress to the stress-inducing pacing pulses is undesirable.

    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising an implantable cardiac depolarization sensing circuit, an electrical stimulation circuit, and a pacing mode controller. The pacing mode controller is configured to deliver pacing therapy according to a first pacing mode that is a normal operating mode, and to deliver pacing therapy according to second and third pacing modes. The second and third pacing modes increase mechanical stress on at least a particular portion of the ventricle as compared to the pacing therapy delivered during the first pacing mode. The pacing mode controller alternates between the second and third pacing modes when pacing is changed from the normal operating mode to a stress augmentation mode. The pacing mode controller suspends the change from the normal operating mode to the stress augmentation mode when a condition to prevent the change is detected.

    摘要: Cardioprotective pre-excitation pacing may be applied to stress or de-stress a particular myocardial region delivering of pacing pulses in a manner that causes a dyssynchronous contraction. Such dyssynchronous contractions are responsible for the desired cardioprotective effects of pre-excitation pacing but may also be hazardous. Described herein is a method and system that uses measures of a patient's heart rate or exertion level to control the duty cycles of intermittent pre-excitation pacing.

    摘要: A pacing system delivers cardiac protection pacing to protect the heart from injuries. The pacing system receives a set of inputs and calculates parameters for delivering optimized cardiac protection pacing tailored for different stress levels. The system automatically adjusts heart rate to optimize cardiac protection pacing in a closed-loop system. In one embodiment, a method for delivering pacing pulses for cardiac protection is provided. Intrinsic atrioventricular (AV) intervals are sensed. The intrinsic AV interval and a predetermined equation relating the AV interval to an optimal AV delay are used to provide a maximum positive rate of left ventricular pressure change during systole. An AV delay is calculated using a predetermined percentage of the optimal AV delay to deliver ventricular pacing pulses to provide a desired level of stress for cardiac protective pacing therapy (CPPT) to provide a cardiac conditioning therapy to improve autonomic balance.
