    摘要: Various techniques for detecting cardiac capture in response to a detected lead related condition are described. One example method described includes delivering a pacing therapy to a heart of a patient, periodically determining whether the pacing therapy captures the heart of the patient, detecting a lead related condition, and, in response to the detected lead related condition, increasing a frequency of determining whether the pacing therapy captures the heart.

    摘要: Assessing symptomatic and asymptomatic physiologic changes due to chronic heart failure involves apparatus and methods for gauging degradation and possible improvement using automated measurement of inter-ventricular conduction time, both alone and in combination with other automated physiologic tests. Conduction times increase due to the greater distance a wavefront must traverse as a heart enlarges. Analysis of conduction time can be used to verify the occurrence of cardiac remodeling due to heart failure as well as beneficial reverse remodeling due to successful heart failure therapy delivery. Patient activity level(s) and presence/increase in pulmonary fluids can also be used to automatically determine changes in heart failure status and/or predict hospitalization. Conduction time is monitored between electrodes positioned in the left and right ventricles of the heart via endocardial or epicardial electrodes.

    摘要: A medical device and associated method deliver cardiac pacing in a dual chamber pacing mode and schedule an atrial-ventricular (AV) conduction check during the dual chamber pacing mode to detect the presence of AV conduction. If AV conduction is detected during the scheduled AV conduction check, the medical device switches to an atrial pacing mode and switches back to the dual chamber pacing mode in response to an absence of AV conduction during the atrial pacing mode. The detected AV conduction is identified as a false positive detection in response to the pacing mode switch to the dual chamber pacing mode occurring within a predetermined interval of time from detecting the AV conduction.

    摘要: The invention provides methods and apparatus for determining in a non-tracking pacing mode (e.g., DDI/R, VVI/R) whether a ventricular pacing stimulus is capturing a paced ventricle, including some or all of the following aspects. For example, increasing a ventricular pacing rate a nominal amount to an overdrive pacing rate higher than a most recent heart rate and evaluating a conduction interval from a first pacing ventricle to a second sensing ventricle and then continuing to monitor the underlying rate to ensure that a threshold testing pacing rate will not exceed a predetermined minimum interval and providing pacing stimulation to the first ventricle and sensing the second ventricle to determine whether the pacing stimulation to the first ventricle was one of sub-threshold and supra-threshold. The methods and apparatus are especially useful in conjunction with ensuring actual delivery of a ventricular pacing regime (e.g., cardiac resynchronization therapy or “CRT”).
