    摘要: A method and device for determining an optimal lower rate and adjusting the programmed lower pacing rate to the optimal rate that includes monitoring a parameter in response to therapy delivered at a first rate during a first time period to generate first parameter data, and determining whether the therapy was delivered for a predetermined portion of the first time period. The parameter is monitored in response to the therapy delivered at a next rate during a next time period to generate next parameter data, and a determination is made as to whether the therapy was delivered for a predetermined portion of the next time period. A metric corresponding to the first parameter data is determined to generate a first parameter metric, and corresponding to the next parameter data to generate a next parameter metric used for determining an optimal therapy delivery rate.

    摘要: A system and method of making a lesion on living tissue including providing an electrosurgical system, determining a desired lesion depth, selecting a power setting, and applying electrical energy to the living tissue. The system includes an instrument having an electrode at a distal portion thereof, and a power source having multiple available power settings. The power source is electrically connected to the electrode. The step of applying electrical energy includes energizing the electrode at the selected power setting for a recommended energization time period that is determined by reference to predetermined length of time information and based upon the desired lesion depth and the selected power setting. The system preferably further includes a fluid source for irrigating the electrode at an irrigation rate. In this regard, the predetermined length of time information is generated as a function of irrigation rate.

    摘要: A catheter assembly and method for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, for example, atrial fibrillation, by electrically isolating a vessel, such as a pulmonary vein, from a chamber, such as the left atrium. The catheter assembly includes a catheter body and at least one electrode. The catheter body includes a proximal portion, an intermediate portion and a distal portion. The intermediate portion extends from the proximal portion and defines a longitudinal axis. The distal portion extends from the intermediate portion and forms a substantially closed loop transverse to the longitudinal axis. The at least one electrode is disposed along the loop. With this configuration, the loop is axially directed into contact with the chamber wall about the vessel ostium. Upon energization, the electrode ablates a continuous lesion pattern about the vessel ostium, thereby electrically isolating the vessel from the chamber.

    摘要: A method of and a system for treatment of atrial tachyarrhythmias. The system includes a set of hemostats having elongated opposing jaws carrying mechanisms for applying ablation energy along the jaws. The jaws having straight and curved configurations selected to allow arrangement of the jaws of along opposite sides of walls of a patient's atrium. Treatment is accomplished by applying of ablation energy to the walls of a patient's artria to create lines of lesion corresponding generally to incisions employed in a Maze type procedure.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting and treating atrial fibrillation. In response to detecting atrial fibrillation, the device derives an escape interval based on one or more preceding intervals between ventricular depolarizations. The escape interval is initiated in response to a ventricular depolarization, and in response to the expiration of the escape interval, an atrial cardioversion pulse is delivered. In one embodiment of the invention, the cardioverting pulse is delivered immediately upon expiration of the derived escape interval. In a second embodiment of the invention, a ventricular pacing pulse is delivered on expiration of the escape interval, with an atrial cardioversion pulse following after a short delay.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for treating fibrillation, particularly atrial fibrillation. In response to detection of fibrillation, a series of low energy pulse bursts is delivered, separated by defined inter-burst intervals, and including bursts unsynchronized to heart depolarizations. Detection of termination of fibrillation during inter-burst intervals results in cancellation of further pulse bursts to prevent reinduction of fibrillation.
