    摘要: An artificial heart pacemaker and control circuit having an atrial synchronous pacing mode includes an output pulse generator for delivering stimulating pulses to the ventricle of the heart, and atrial and ventricular sensing amplifiers for detecting, respectively, atrial and ventricular contractions. The atrial sense amplifier starts an A-V delay timer which provides a delayed triggering pulse to the pulse generator to maintain A-V synchrony. Circuitry is provided for blanking or turning off the atrial sensing amplifier during the time that the ventricular sensing amplifier is refractory, and preferably for a short time interval thereafter, to prevent delivery of an output pulse in response to a premature ventricular contraction erroneously sensed as an atrial contraction.

    摘要: A system and method are described for testing communication through a patient during implantation using telemetry coupling electrodes on a delivery catheter. In one example, at least two telemetry coupling electrodes may be placed on or within a delivery catheter to test conductive communication with external body electrodes during implantation. In some instances, the telemetry coupling electrodes of the delivery catheter may approximate the spacing of telemetry electrodes on an IMD. In this manner, testing conductively coupled communication with telemetry coupling electrodes of the catheter may be used to mimic the telemetry electrodes on the IMD and determine a target position and/or orientation of an electrode or electrodes of the IMD for successful conductive communication through the body.

    摘要: A system and method for monitoring respiration including sensing a signal that varies with respiration, deriving a respiration parameter, applying criteria for detecting a respiration disturbance and determining one or more respiratory disturbance metrics. The system preferably includes an implantable sensor with an associated implantable medical device such that chronic respiration monitoring is possible. The implantable medical device may execute methods for detecting and measuring respiratory disturbances or may store data to be transferred to an external device for detecting and measuring respiratory disturbances. Respiratory disturbance detection may trigger a responsive action such as physiological data storage, a change in therapy delivery, or a clinician warning. Assessment of cardiac function may be made based on metrics of respiratory disturbances or a measure of circulatory delay time following detection of a respiratory disturbance.

    摘要: A pacing system provided with a mode switching feature and ventricular rate regularization (VRR) function adapted to stabilize or regularize ventricular heart rate during chronic or paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmia. In a preferred embodiment, the pacing system nominally operates in an atrial synchronized pacing mode such as DDD or DDDR pacing mode. In response to detection of atrial rhythm characteristics consistent with an atrial tachyarrhythmia, e.g., atrial fibrillation, a mode switch into a non-atrial synchronized, ventricular rate regularization pacing mode, e.g. DDIR or VDIR pacing mode, is made. If the VRR function is programmed on, the ventricular pacing rate based upon a rate responsive sensor derived ventricular pacing rate modulated on a beat by beat basis by preceding intrinsic or paced ventricular events, the stability of the intrinsic ventricular heart rate, and any atrial pace events to regularize the ventricular pacing rate. The pacing system may also be permanently programmed to the DDIR pacing mode with the VRR feature functioning continuously. The pacing system may also be permanently programmed to the VVIR pacing mode with VRR function activated, but without consideration of atrial pace events.
