    摘要: A method and apparatus for variable rate cardiac stimulation, wherein sudden drops in the rate of delivery of stimulation pulses are avoided by means of rate smoothing and peak rate support functions. In one embodiment, circuitry in a cardiac pulse generator detects atrial events and maintains an updated value of the A-A time intervals between certain atrial events. If a preset ratio or total of these A-A intervals are found to have been shorter than the updated value by at a least a predetermined amount of time, a rate smoothing function is activated wherein the rate of delivery of stimulating pulses is prevented from changing, from cycle to cycle, by more than a predetermined maximum amount. A peak rate support function preferably employs the same updated value in the computation of "escape" intervals. Following the latest A-A interval, if that A-A interval is less than the updated value, then the updated value is used as the new escape interval. If the latest A-A interval is greater than or equal to the updated value but less than the previous updated value, the current escape interval is used as the new escape interval. If the latest A-A interval is less than both the previous updated value and the current updated value, the value updated is used as the new escape interval, and the pulse generator enters a decay mode wherein the escape interval is gradually and incrementally lengthened to prevent sudden changes in the rate of delivery of stimulation pulses.

    摘要: A dual chamber, rate-responsive pacemaker for pacing a patient's heart novelly allows tracking of the patient's sinus rate when the sinus rate is slightly less than the sensor rate; i.e., within a predetermined "Sinus Preference Window Maximum Rate Drop." Pacing at the sensor rate occurs when the sensor rate exceeds the sinus rate by more than the Sinus Preference Window Maximum Rate Drop. In the preferred embodiment a Sinus Preference Window, which occurs at the end of the ventricle-to-atrium interval, is decremented with successive heart beats by a programmable delta to increase the pacing rate until the Sinus Preference Window reaches zero, in which case the pacemaker paces at the sensor rate. The Sinus Preference Window is reset to its maximum value upon either the detection of an atrial sensed event, or upon the expiration of a programmable Sinus Check Interval. The pacemaker paces at the sinus rate or the maximum rate drop rate, whichever is faster, for a number of recovery beats, and then increments the pacing rate up to the sensor rate.

    摘要: An improved apparatus for and method of providing feedback to an implantable pulse generator to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Sensors monitor the electrical activity associated with contractions of the diaphragm. The pressure within the thorax and the upper airway are also measured. Whenever electrical activity of the diaphragm suggests that an inspiration cycle is in progress and the pressure sensors show an abnormal pressure differential across the airway, the presence of obstructive sleep apenea is assumed and electrical stimulation is applied to the musculature of the upper airway.

    摘要: An implantable medical device delivers augmentation therapy to intervene in a pattern of sleep-disordered breathing. Augmentation therapy includes the delivery of electrical stimulation to cardiac tissue above and/or below a capture threshold. PESP and NES/CCM are possible augmentation therapies that are used alone or in combination. In addition, augmentation therapies can be used with other pacing therapies such as atrial overdrive pacing and atrial coordinated pacing as a therapy for sleep-disordered breathing.
