    摘要: An implantable medical device and associated method deliver a therapy to an autonomic nerve. The therapy delivery includes delivering therapeutic low frequency (LF) electrical stimulation pulses to the autonomic nerve and delivering a high frequency electrical signal to the autonomic nerve during the LF frequency stimulation pulse delivery. The high frequency stimulation signal blocks activation of autonomic nerve fibers innervating a non-targeted tissue during the therapeutic LF stimulation pulse delivery.

    摘要: Electrical stimulation may be configured to decrease renal sympathetic activity by creating at least a partial functional conduction block in the efferent and/or afferent sympathetic nerve fibers that innervate the kidneys. An electrical stimulator may deliver a stimulation signal to a renal nerve of a patient. The stimulation signal may be a biphasic signal with a frequency of approximately 100 hertz to 20 kilohertz. In some examples, a sensor may sense a physiological parameter of the patient, and the stimulation generator may activate, deactivate, or adjust the stimulation signal based on the physiological parameter. The physiological parameter may be indicative of sympathetic activity within the patient.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting and classifying cardiac arrhythmias based on cardiac pressure signals or the combination of cardiac electrical and cardiac pressure signals. A cardiac electrogram signal is sensed to derive a cardiac rate from which an arrhythmia detection is made when the cardiac rate meets arrhythmia detection criteria. An intracardiac pressure signal is sensed to derive an indicator of tachycardia based on an analysis of the pressure signal in either the time domain or frequency domain. The detected arrhythmia is classified as tachycardia or fibrillation based on the tachycardia indicator wherein the tachycardia indicator is compared to tachycardia detection criteria and the arrhythmia is classified as tachycardia if tachycardia detection criteria are met and the arrhythmia is classified as fibrillation if the tachycardia detection criteria are not met.

    摘要: Implantable pulse generators (IPGs) are adapted to deliver stimulation to refractory myocardial tissue. An IPG nominally delivers one to six monophasic stimulation pulses. Because monophasic stimulation tends to accumulate polarization, a programmable blanking period of between about 20 milliseconds (ms) and about 300 ms is implemented (subsequent to delivery of the last pulse in a RPS pulse train) to allow recovery from polarization. The stimulation pulse width is about 0.03 ms to about 1.6 ms and voltage amplitude of 0.5 volts to 8 volts at about 50 Hz. The amplitude of electrical current of the stimulation pulses is less than or equal to approximately 50 milliamps. The pulses are delivered to multiple sites within a cardiac chamber and device performance and/or diagnostic information can be stored within a memory structure and reviewed to confirm delivery of a desired therapy regimen.

    摘要: A method of controlling pulmonary capillary pressure is disclosed which includes increasing the output of a first ventricle (V1) (e.g., a left ventricle) relative to second ventricle (e.g., right ventricle) by increasing the magnitude of a post extrasystolic potentiation (PESP) therapy effect in the first ventricle relative to the magnitude of a PESP therapy effect produced in the second ventricle. In certain embodiments of the invention, this may be accomplished by adjusting the extra-stimulus interval (ESI) in either or both of the left ventricle and the right ventricle, for example.

    摘要: Refractory period stimulation (RPS) disclosed herein includes apparatus and methods to enhance cardiac performance by delivering monophasic stimulation pulses during the refractory period. The disclosure describes several system level improvements to RPS that include one or more of the following: (i) Delivery of RPS therapy pulses at multiple sites in an automatically alternating way to avoid increasing demand at any one location for prolonged periods of time. (ii) Delivery of RPS therapy pulses at multiple sites to determine one or more optimal electrode configurations for chronic RPS therapy delivery. (iii) Use of separate electrode(s) for sensing ventricular activity to properly time and adjust the application of RPS thereby avoiding limitations associated with electrode polarization that occurs due to the amount of energy delivered during the RPS. (iv) Use of a relatively long active recharge pulse at the RPS stimulation electrodes to remove the undesirable effects of polarization.

    摘要: A method and device for delivering cardiac stimulation that includes a first electrode, positioned within a first chamber of a heart, sensing cardiac signals associated with the first chamber and capable of delivering stimulation to the first chamber, and a second electrode, positioned within a second chamber of the heart, sensing cardiac signals associated with the second chamber and capable of delivering stimulation to the second chamber. A processing unit processes the sensed signals and controls the stimulation delivery via the first electrode and the second electrode, determining whether a predetermined rhythm is detected in the first chamber, and delivering high-frequency burst pacing to the first chamber in response to a predetermined rate being sensed in the second chamber during the predetermined rhythm.
