    摘要: A method and system are provided for providing coordinated ventricular overdrive and triggered pacing through an implantable system. A lead senses signals from a heart to obtain sensed signals representative of tachycardia occurring in at least one chamber of the heart. The lead includes an electrode. A control module detects tachycardia in at least one chamber of the heart and based thereon, initiates an overdrive pacing mode and a triggered pacing mode. The control module controls delivery of overdrive pacing pulses through the electrode to a first chamber of the heart in accordance with the overdrive pacing mode. The control module controls delivery of a triggered pacing pulse through the electrode to the first chamber of the heart in accordance with the triggered pacing mode. The triggered pacing pulse is temporally interspersed with the overdrive pacing pulses. The triggered pacing pulse may be delivered at a time that is independent of, and unrelated to, the timing of the overdrive pacing pulses.

    摘要: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is detected based on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) data. In some embodiments, PAP data generated by a PAP sensor device implanted in or near the pulmonary artery of a patient is processed to determine whether the patient is suffering from AF. In some aspects, detection of AF is based on identifying cycle-to-cycle variations of one or more parameters derived from the PAP data.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for controlling ventricular pacing during an episode of atrial fibrillation (AF) for use by a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or other implantable medical device. In one example, upon detection of AF, the underlying intrinsic ventricular rate of the patient is determined prior to delivering any ventricular pacing. Then, a ventricular pacing procedure—such as dynamic ventricular overdrive (DVO) pacing—is activated to reduce ventricular rate variability to mitigate the adverse effects of AF. The ventricular pacing procedure employed during AF is controlled based on a maximum ventricular rate set relative to the underlying intrinsic ventricular rate so as to keep an overall ventricular rate below the maximum rate.
