    摘要: A leadless implantable cardiac arrhythmia alarm is disclosed which continuously assesses a patient's heart function to discriminate between normal and abnormal heart functioning and, upon detecting an abnormal condition, generates a patient-warning signal. The alarm is capable of sensing impedance measurements of heart, respiratory and patient motion and, from these measurements, generating an alarm signal when the measurements indicate the occurrence of a cardiac arrhythmia. Because it requires no external leads or feedthrough connectors, the hermetically-sealed patient alarm is minimally invasive and results in reduced trauma to a patient.

    摘要: A rate-responsive pacemaker employing a rate control parameter of respiratory minute volume, derived over a unipolar lead. The pacemaker performs the minute volume measurement by periodically applying a measuring current between the lead and a reference point on the pacemaker case. This measuring current has frequency components in a range from approximately 10 kilohertz to 1000 megahertz. Application of this measuring current allows the pacemaker to detect the voltage which arises from the applied current and, from the detected voltage, to measure the patient's spatial impedance. Spatial impedance and minute volume vary as a function of the patient's pleural pressure. The pacemaker derives minute volume and rate-responsive pacing rate from the spatial impedance measurement.

    摘要: A radiosonde has a novel and improved measuring circuitry for measuring atmospheric conditions, such as, temperature, humidity and pressure through the direct conversion of resistance and capacitance values into binary numbers. The binary numbers are transmitted in digital form along with calibration coefficients to a remote ground station. The measuring circuitry can be mounted on the same substrate with the pressure transducer, and the electrical connections between the pressure transducer and measuring circuitry are simplified by utilization of an offset diaphragm, pressure cell arrangement.

    摘要: A metabolic demand rate-responsive cardiac stimulation apparatus and method are disclosed which employ multiple physiological rate control parameters, such as respiratory minute volume, patient motion and cardiac stroke volume. The parameters are derived using a single standard pacing lead or transducer. The apparatus and method perform each physiological measurement by periodically applying a measuring current between two points within the apparatus. This measuring current has frequency components in a range of from approximately 10 kilohertz to 1000 megahertz. Application of this measuring current allows the apparatus to detect the voltage which arises from the applied current and, from the detected voltage, to measure the patient's spatial impedance. For a particular measurement, the apparatus controls which physiological parameter is sensed by regulating the frequency content of the measuring current. The apparatus analyzes the physiological parameters to determine the best pacing rate in terms of characteristics such as response time and stability.
