    摘要: A cardiac rhythm management system, such as an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), provides atrial anti-tachyarrhythmia therapy, such as a bipolar or unipolar electrical cardioversion countershock, or provides both atrial and ventricular anti-tachyarrhythmia therapy. The atrial and ventricular anti-tachyarrhythmia therapies have independent cardioversion-defibrillation energy levels and other parameters. The system provides an endocardial lead that is convenient to implant for providing the anti-tachyarrhythmia therapy. The endocardial lead includes a first supraventricular electrode disposed in the atrium and superior vena cava, and optionally includes a first ventricular electrode and ICD housing electrode.

    摘要: A method and system for discriminating atrial and ventricular signal components from a single heart lead, and for using this information for identifying an arrhythmia condition as being atrial or ventricular in origin. The invention is effective in identifying P waves occurring in complex signal which includes relatively stronger R waves or other ventricular artifacts which mask the P waves. The contribution of the R wave signal to the complex signal is obtained by filtering, time windowing and transfer function estimation, then the R wave estimate is subtracted from the combined signal to leave the P wave. The ratio of P waves to R waves, P--P and R--R intervals, and their ratios to one another and to fixed values can be estimated, and used in a comparison to discriminate between atrial and ventricular arrhythmia, to thereby enable appropriate treatment.

    摘要: A rate adaptive pacemaker of the type having a variable rate cardiac stimulating pulse generator and a sensor for monitoring some physiologic parameter whereby the pulse generator stimulating rate can be adjusted to meet physiologic demand is further provided with a hemodynamic sensor which is operative to provide an output signal representing the pumping performance of the heart in response to the pacing stimulation. The signal from the hemodynamic sensor is processed and then used in an algorithm to determine whether further rate increase should be permitted based upon whether the rate increase would be accompanied by a further increase in cardiac output, a plateau or a decrease in cardiac output. Hence, the adaptive rate pacemaker is provided with a real-time, hemodynamic maximum pacing rate instead of a preprogrammed, fixed, maximum rate.

    摘要: Methods and implantable devices for cardiac signal analysis. The methods and devices make use of waveform appraisal techniques to distinguish event detections into categories for suspect events and waveform appraisal passing events. When adjustments are made to the data entering analysis for waveform appraisal, the waveform appraisal thresholds applied are modified as well. For example, when the data analysis window for waveform appraisal changes in length, a waveform appraisal threshold is modified. Other changes, including changes in sensing characteristics with which waveform appraisal operates may also result in changes to the waveform appraisal threshold including changes in gain, sensing vector, activation of other devices, implantee posture and other examples which are explained.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for signal analysis in an implanted cardiac monitoring and treatment device such as an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. In illustrative examples, captured data including detected events is analyzed to identify likely overdetection of cardiac events. In some illustrative examples, when overdetection is identified, data may be modified to correct for overdetection, to reduce the impact of overdetection, or to ignore overdetected data. New methods for organizing the use of morphology and rate analysis in an overall architecture for rhythm classification and cardiac signal analysis are also discussed.
