    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, a cardiac rhythm management device or other implantable medical device that uses thoracic impedance to determine how much fluid is present in the thorax, such as for detecting or predicting congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, hypotension, or the like. The thoracic fluid amount determined from the thoracic impedance is compensated for changes in blood resistivity, which may result from changes in hematocrit level or other factors. The blood-resistivity-compensated thoracic fluid amount can be stored in the device or transmitted to an external device for storage or display. The blood-resistivity-compensated thoracic fluid amount can also be used to adjust a cardiac pacing, cardiac resynchronization, or other cardiac rhythm management or other therapy to the patient. This document also discusses applications of the devices and methods for predicting or indicating anemia.

    摘要: A system and method for determining pulmonary performance from transthoracic impedance measures is provided. Transthoracic impedance measures collected by an implantable medical device are correlated to pulmonary functional measures. The pulmonary functional measures are grouped by respiratory pattern. Pulmonary performance is evaluated. Differences are determined by comparing the pulmonary functional measures for each respiratory pattern to the pulmonary functional measures for at least one previous respiratory pattern. A trend is identified from the differences. An alert is generated upon sufficient deviation of the trend from a threshold criteria.

    摘要: A device and method for cardiac rhythm management in which a cardiac site is paced in accordance with a pacing mode that employs sense signals from a different cardiac site. A protective period triggered by the sensing of intrinsic activity at the paced site is used to delay pacing by a protective delay interval without otherwise disturbing the pacing algorithm.

    摘要: A system comprising a medical device that includes an impedance measurement circuit adapted to be coupled to implantable electrodes to obtain an intracardiac impedance signal between electrodes, a therapy circuit operable to deliver a therapy to a subject, and a controller circuit coupled to the impedance measurement circuit and the therapy circuit. The controller circuit determines a time rate of change of the intracardiac impedance signal and adjusts at least one parameter related to therapy in a manner that alters the rate of change.

    摘要: A device and method for cardiac rhythm management in which one heart chamber, designated as the synchronized chamber, is paced in accordance with a pacing mode that employs sense signals from the opposite chamber, designated as the rate chamber. A synchronized chamber protection period triggered by an intrinsic or paced beat in the synchronized chamber is used to inhibit pacing without otherwise disturbing the pacing algorithm. The duration of the synchronized chamber protection period is dynamically adjusted based upon detection of a repolarization in the synchronized chamber
