摘要:
An apparatus comprises a control circuit that initiates a normal pacing mode for delivery of electrostimulation energy to the heart chamber. In response to an indication to initiate a threshold test, the control circuit determines an electrode configuration used to deliver the electrostimulation energy in the normal pacing mode, selects a first threshold test mode when a sensing electrode independent from the set of pacing electrodes is unavailable for the heart chamber, wherein a cardiac activity signal is sensed using a set of sensing electrodes that includes an electrode common to the set of pacing electrodes, and selects a second threshold test mode when a sensing electrode independent from the set of pacing electrodes is available for the heart chamber, wherein the cardiac activity signal is sensed using a set of sensing electrodes that excludes an electrode common to the set of pacing electrodes.
摘要:
Cardiac electrostimulation energy is delivered to a heart chamber of a subject according to a normal pacing mode using a set of implantable pacing electrodes. When a threshold test for the heart chamber is initiated and a sensing electrode independent from the set of pacing electrodes is unavailable for the heart chamber, cardiac electrostimulation energy is delivered to the subject according to a threshold test mode. The threshold test mode includes sensing a cardiac activity signal from a subject using a set of sensing electrodes that includes an electrode common to the set of pacing electrodes, and changing the electrostimulation energy and sensing a resulting cardiac activity signal using the set of sensing electrodes to determine the optimum electrostimulation energy for capture of the heart chamber.

An apparatus comprises an implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit and a controller circuit. The implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit provides a sensed depolarization signal from a ventricle and a sensed depolarization signal from an atrium. The controller circuit includes a one-to-one detector circuit and a tachyarrhythmia discrimination circuit. The one-to-one detector circuit measures cardiac depolarization intervals of the atrium and the ventricle and determines whether a relationship of atrial depolarizations to ventricular depolarizations is substantially one-to-one. The tachyarrhythmia discrimination circuit classifies the episode as VT when detecting a shortening or prolonging of a V-V interval that immediately precedes the same shortening or prolonging of an A-A interval.

An apparatus comprises a sensor circuit configured to produce a time-varying physiologic sensor signal of a subject and a pathology detection circuit communicatively coupled to the sensor. The pathology detection circuit is configured to detect a first pathological episode using the sensed physiologic sensor signal, deem that the first pathological episode has ended, detect at least one second pathological episode using the sensed physiologic sensor signal, and indicate the first and second pathological episodes as one pathological episode if the first and second episode are detected within a specified time interval.
摘要:
A system and method for performing independent, off-line evaluation of event sensing for collected electrograms, comprising: sensing an electrogram using an implantable medical device (IMD); determining locations of heart beats on at least one channel of the electrogram using a multi-pass process, resulting in a group of multi-pass beat locations; storing the electrogram and device-identified beat locations in a memory location; and retrieving the electrogram and device-identified beat locations from the memory location. The multi-pass process determines locations of heart beats on at least a first channel of the electrogram. The device-identified group of beat locations are then compared to the multi-pass group of beat locations identified using the multi-pass method. Based on the comparing step, oversensing of beats, undersensing of beats, or noise from the device can be detected.
