    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: Implementations of various technologies described herein are directed toward a sensing architecture for use in cardiac rhythm management devices. The sensing architecture may provide a method and means for certifying detected events by the cardiac rhythm management device. Moreover, by exploiting the enhanced capability to accurately identifying only those sensed events that are desirable, and preventing the use of events marked as suspect, the sensing architecture can better discriminate between rhythms appropriate for device therapy and those that are not.

    摘要: The implantable cardiac treatment system of the present invention is capable of choosing the most appropriate electrode vector to sense within a particular patient. In certain embodiments, the implantable cardiac treatment system determines the most appropriate electrode vector for continuous sensing based on which electrode vector results in the greatest signal amplitude, or some other useful metric such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The electrode vector possessing the highest quality as measured using the metric is then set as the default electrode vector for sensing. Additionally, in certain embodiments of the present invention, a next alternative electrode vector is selected based on being generally orthogonal to the default electrode vector. In yet other embodiments of the present invention, the next alternative electrode vector is selected based on possessing the next highest quality metric after the default electrode vector. In some embodiments, if analysis of the default vector is ambiguous, the next alternative electrode vector is analyzed to reduce ambiguity.

    摘要: Template formation methods for use in implantable cardiac rhythm management devices. In an illustrative method, a signal is captured in an implanted cardiac rhythm management device, and parameters for analysis of the captured signal are then defined. Then, in the example, additional signals can be captured and used to either verify or discard the captured signal defined parameters. The template formation methods provide for creating a robust template to compare with sensed cardiac complexes. Devices and systems configured to perform template formation and verification methods are also shown.
