    摘要: Methods and systems involve adjusting an energy used for safety pacing based on the capture threshold. The safety pacing energy may be adjusted prior to a capture threshold test. During the capture threshold test, backup safety paces are delivered using the adjusted pacing energy. Following suspension of automatic capture verification, the device may enter a suspension mode. During the suspension mode, safety pacing pulses are delivered using a pacing energy adjusted based on capture threshold.

    摘要: An apparatus for outputting heart sounds includes an implantable system and an external system. The implantable system includes a sensor for generating sensed signals representing detected heart sounds, an interface circuit and a control circuit for receiving the sensed signals, generating data representing the heart sounds therefrom, and transmitting the data to the external system via the interface circuit. The external system includes an interface circuit for communicating with the implantable system, and a control circuit for receiving the data representing the heart sounds and for generating control signals that cause an output device to generate outputs representing the sounds. The implantable system may also include a sensor(s) for detecting cardiac electrical signals. In this case, outputs representing the cardiac electrical signals are also output.

    摘要: An implantable cardiac rhythm management device capable of automatically detecting intrinsic and evoked response of a patient's heart and suitable for use during capture verification. The device of the present invention may operate in an automatic capture verification mode, wherein an electrocardiogram signal of a patient's heart is received and used by the device to determine whether a stimulation pulse evokes a response by the patient's heart. The device suspends the automatic capture verification mode and/or adjust the detection threshold dependent upon detected and/or measured noise, a determined amplitude of evoked response, a determined modulation in the evoked response, or detected and/or measured artifact. Further, the sensing circuit of the rhythm management device of the present invention reduces afterpotentials that result due to delivery of the stimulation pulses.

    摘要: A method for reducing the affects of intrinsic detection latency in a cardiac rhythm management device, wherein said method is initiated immediately prior to delivering a stimulation pulse to the heart tissue. A coincidence of intrinsic and cardiac rhythm management initiated stimulus or the delivery of a stimulation pulse proximate the time of an intrinsic event due to intrinsic detection latency may results in delivery of unnecessary backup stimulus and/or imprecise determination of a pacing threshold. When stimulating the heart, the timing sequence for delivering a stimulation pulse typically depends upon the timing of a previous intrinsic or device initiated event. Further, the method of the present invention reduces the affects of intrinsic detection latency thereby facilitating improved detection of capture and determination of capture threshold for minimizing power consumption while assuring therapeutic efficacy.

    摘要: A cardiac rhythm management system provides for ambulatory monitoring of hemodynamic performance based on quantitative measurements of heart sound related parameters for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Monitoring of such heart sound related parameters allows the cardiac rhythm management system to determine a need for delivering a therapy and/or therapy parameter adjustments based on conditions of a heart. This monitoring also allows a physician to observe or assess the hemodynamic performance for diagnosing and making therapeutic decisions. Because the conditions of the heart may fluctuate and may deteriorate significantly between physician visits, the ambulatory monitoring, performed on a continuous or periodic basis, ensures a prompt response by the cardiac rhythm management system that may save a life, prevent hospitalization, or prevent further deterioration of the heart.
