    摘要: In an apparatus and method for detecting incipient heart failure of a patient. Impedance signals reflecting volume changes of the right ventricle and/or the right atrium of a heart of the patient are obtained. The impedance signals are processed to determine a first impedance parameter substantially reflecting a volume of the right ventricle, and a heart failure status is determined based on the first impedance parameter, wherein a decreasing first impedance parameter is determined to be an indication of a deterioration of the heart failure status.

    摘要: An implantable medical device applies an electric signal to at least a portion of a heart in a subject. A resulting electric signal is collected from the heart and is used together with the applied signal for determining a cardiogenic impedance signal. The impedance signal is processed in order to estimate an isovolumetric contraction time, an isovolumetric relaxation time and an ejection time for a heart cycle. These three time parameters are employed for calculating a Tei-index of the heart. The Tei-index can be used as myocardial performance parameter in heart diagnosis and/or cardiac therapy adjustment.

    摘要: A late potential detecting system has an implantable medical device connected to at least one cardiac lead having implantable electrodes positioned at different sites of a ventricle myocardium. A sampling unit of the implantable medical device records electrogram samples for the different implantable electrodes to get different sample sets. The electrogram samples of the sample sets are time synchronized and magnitude potential representations of the potential data of the electrogram samples are determined. The magnitude potential representations of the time synchronized electrogram samples are then co-processed and used for determining a parameter that is indicative of any late potentials of the monitored ventricle.

    摘要: In a medical device and method to monitor pulmonary artery pressure of a patient, a first parameter related to the right ventricular straight volume of the patient's is detected, and a second parameter related to the right ventricular ejection rate of the patient's heart, or related to the workload of the patient's heart, is also determined. A pulmonary pressure index is determined by combining the first and second parameters, with variations of the pulmonary pressure index indicating variations in the pulmonary artery pressure. Pulmonary artery hypertension can be monitored with such a device and method.

    摘要: In implantable medical devices such a pacemaker or cardioverter/defibrillators (ICDs) and systems including such a device and an external programmer a measure of a hemodynamic parameter such as the cardiac output, the stroke volume, or the contractility of a patient is used to trend heart failure or in an AV/VV optimization scheme. The implantable medical device is adapted to measure the cardiac impedance and the cardiac impedance data is used to determine impedance morphology curves, which, in turn, are used to compute a measure of the hemodynamic parameter.

    摘要: In an implantable medical device, such as a bi-ventricular pacemaker and a method for detecting and monitoring mechanical dyssynchronicity of the heart, a dyssynchronicity measure indicating a degree of mechanical dyssynchronicity of a heart of a patient is calculated. A first intracardiac impedance set is measured using electrodes placed such that the first intracardiac impedance set substantially reflects a mechanical activity of the left side of the heart and a second intracardiac impedance set is measure using electrodes placed such that the second intracardiac impedance set substantially reflects a mechanical activity of the right side of the heart. The measure of a dyssynchronicity is calculated based on a resulting parameter set from a comparison between at least a subset of the first and the second impedance sets, respectively, the subsets containing information of the mechanical systole, wherein a reduced dyssynchronicity measure corresponds to an improved synchronicity between the right side and the left side of the heart.

    摘要: In an implantable heart monitoring device and a monitoring method, an impedance is measured across at least part of an atrium, such that variation of the impedance is related to the volume change of the atrium. Values are stored at different occasions that indicate the rate of change of the measured impedance. The stored values are determined such that, when the device is used in a living being, the variation of the stored values will be related to the variation of the speed with which the atrium is filled with blood during the atrial diastole.

    摘要: An implantable heart analyzing device has a housing and a control circuit located within said housing. The control circuit generates an output signal adapted to actuate an activator, which is able to make a wall of the heart deflect or vibrate. The control circuit also communicates with a sensor, which can be identical with the activator, with which the movement of the heart wall can be sensed. The control circuit executes a procedure that involves the generation of an output signal and sensing a corresponding sensor signal, and to be able to derive information concerning the tension of the heart wall. An implantable heart analyzing includes the aforementioned heart analyzing device, as well as the activator and the sensor. The heart analyzing device and the system implement a method that results in generation of the aforementioned information concerning the tension of the heart wall.
