Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the occurrence of a mis-location of an atrial electrode in a cardiac stimulation device having an atrial pulse generator coupled with the atrial electrode and a ventricular sense amplifier coupled to a ventricular electrode. The device paces the atrium in a first pacing mode employing atrial pacing pulses at a first energy level and in a test mode employs higher energy atrial pacing pulses. In the test mode the device measures PR intervals between atrial pacing pulses following sensed ventricular depolarizations and determines that the atrial electrode is mis-located responsive to occurrence of a threshold number of short PR intervals or that the atrial electrode is appropriately located responsive to occurrence of a threshold number of long PR intervals. Operation of the device in the test mode may be pre-conditioned on an absence of atrial tachyarrhythmia.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for monitoring for sleep disordered breathing or other types of disordered breathing such as Cheyne-Stokes breathing. More specifically, a device and method for detecting disordered breathing is provided that monitors a physiological parameter, which becomes cyclical due to apnea-hyperpnea (or arousal) alternation and provides the basis for the determination of a number of breathing disorder metrics.
