    摘要: An implantable cardiac rhythm management device capable of automatically detecting intrinsic and evoked response of a patient's heart. The device operates in an automatic capture verification mode, wherein a global accelerometer signal is utilized to identify heart sounds (S1 and S2) of the patient's heart. The presence or absence of one or more of the heart sounds S1 and S2 in the accelerometer signal indicates whether a stimulation pulse evokes a response by the patient's heart. The device may automatically adjust the stimulation output in accordance with a step down stimulation protocol, wherein the presence of a predetermined heart sound indicates capture. Also, the device may suspend the automatic capture verification sequence if the patient's physical activity level exceeds a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: Based upon patient studies indices a high degree of correlation was found between HRV and VO2.sub.max, i.e., the patient's exercise capacity. Based on this finding, a pacing therapy optimization protocol for treating patients with CHF has been devised. The protocol involves first pacing the patient's heart with a pacemaker programmed to operate in a first mode for a predetermined time period and then collecting electrogram data from which a HRV index is derived. The mode is then changed and the steps repeated until all possible modes have been utilized. At that time, a determination is made as to which of the modes is associated with the largest HRV index and the pacemaker is then programmed to function in that mode. Alternatively, the method of the present invention can be applied to changes in drug therapy instead of or in combination with pacing therapy.

    摘要: A maximum pacing rate limiter for use in adaptive rate pacing in conjunction with a cardiac rhythm management system for a heart. The maximum pacing rate limiter may function to measure an interval, termed the ERT interval, between a paced ventricular evoked response and a T-wave. The maximum pacing rate limiter may further function to maintain the ERT interval at less than a certain percentage of the total cardiac cycle. In one disclosed embodiment, a maximum pacing rate limiter calculates an ERT rate based on the detected paced ventricular evoked response and the T-wave, and the pacing rate limiter module further communicates the minimum of the ERT rate and an adaptive-rate sensor indicated rate to a pacemaker.

    摘要: A cardiac rhythm management system provides for assessment of cardiac mechanical dyssynchrony based on heart sound morphology and optimization of pacing parameters based on the effect of pacing on the cardiac mechanical dyssynchrony assessment. A degree of cardiac mechanical dyssynchrony is measured by the time delay between tricuspid valve closure and mitral valve closure and/or the time delay between pulmonary valve closure and aortic valve closure. A cardiac resynchronization therapy is optimized by determining therapy parameters to provide an approximately minimum degree of cardiac mechanical dyssynchrony by cardiac pacing.

    摘要: An implantable device monitors the balance between sympathetic tone and parasympathetic tone as a function of an activity level. Cardio-neurological healthy users exhibit a generally sympathetic tone in conjunction with heavy activity level and a generally parasympathetic tone in conjunction with periods of low activity level. Deviations from expected results are associated with a health problem. Measured conditions are stored and available for subsequent reporting to a remote programmer. Therapy delivered by an implantable device is determined as a function of the relationship between autonomic balance and activity level.
