    摘要: Certain cardiac arrhythmias can be prevented by appropriate electrical stimulation of autonomic nerves innervating the heart. An implantable cardiac rhythm management device is configured to deliver such stimulation when an autonomic imbalance is predicted to be present via an endovascular electrode. Autonomic imbalance may be predicted to be present based upon circadian rhythms, detected heart rates, or detected heart rate variability.

    摘要: Systems and methods of verifying that implantable cardiac devices operate as intended in a particular patient involve one or more of determining proper placement of system components, determining stimulus levels useful for individual patient stratification, and determining stimulus levels that indicate efficacy of devices, implantable within a given patient. A pacing stimulus set at a surface pacing level is delivered to a patient's heart using surface electrodes. The patient is determined to not be a candidate for implantation of a subcutaneous defibrillation system if the surface pacing level needed to capture the heart exceeds a predetermined level. The patient may be determined to be a candidate for implantation of a subcutaneous system if the surface pacing level needed to effect capture is within an acceptance level. Such determinations are preferably based on a proportionality relationship between a subcutaneous defibrillation level and a surface pacing level.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for stimulation of a baroreflex system of a patient is provided. A method comprises establishing a therapy regimen including at least one pulse which includes at least two phases. Each phase has a polarity which is different than that of the other phase. The baroreflex system of the patient is activated with at least one baroreflex activation device which is responsive to the therapy regimen.

    摘要: Transthoracic cardiac stimulation therapies provide for detection and treatment of cardiac asystole subsequent to delivery of a defibrillation therapy. A pacing therapy is transthoracicly delivered to terminate detected cardiac asystole using residual energy from a defibrillation energy storage source. The residual energy usable for the pacing therapy is sufficient to transthoracicly deliver at least one pacing pulse, and is typically sufficient to deliver a series of pacing pulses, prior to depletion of the defibrillation energy storage source. Detection of cardiac asystole is performed following delivery of each pacing pulse, and subcutaneous pacing support is terminated in response to detecting cardiac asystole termination.

    摘要: A system and method for determining patient-specific implantable medical device programming parameters are presented. A set of physiological measures collected through a plurality of sensors monitoring physiological functions in a patient are assimilated. The physiological measures set are analyzed to identify physiological idiosyncrasies specific to the patient and to optimize the therapy to be delivered through an implantable medical device. A patient profile is formed including a plurality of programming parameters and the patient profile is preprogrammed into the implantable medical device prior to implantation in the patient.
