    摘要: Techniques for diagnosing lead fractures and lead connection problems are described. One or more medical leads may be coupled to an implantable medical device (IMD) to position electrodes or other sensors at different locations within a patient than the IMD. The IMD may include a lead diagnostic module configured to diagnose problems with a coupled lead and automatically select between a lead fracture problem and a lead connection problem based on the diagnosis. The diagnosis of either lead fracture problems or lead connection problems may be based on a timing of an increased impedance value with respect to connection of the lead to the IMD, a return to baseline impedance values after the increased impedance value, an abrupt rise of the increased impedance value, maximum impedance values, or oversensing. An external device may present the diagnosis to a user to facilitate appropriate corrective action.

    摘要: Various implantable medical device embodiments stimulate an autonomic neural target from within a pulmonary artery, and comprise at least one electrode, a power supply, a neural stimulator connected to the power supply, and an anchor structure. The neural stimulator is configured to generate a neural stimulation signal for delivery to the neural stimulation target through the at least one electrode. The anchor structure is configured to chronically and securely implant the neural stimulator, the power supply and the at least one electrode within the pulmonary artery. The anchor structure, the neural stimulator, the power supply and the at least one electrode are configured to be implanted through a pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. In various embodiments, the neural stimulator is configured to be operational to implement a neural stimulation protocol when chronically implanted within the pulmonary artery without a wired connection through the pulmonary valve.

    摘要: A method of collecting patient event information from a cardiac rhythm management system (CRM system) is described, where the CRM system includes a cardiac rhythm management device (CRM device) and an external interface device. The method includes the steps of initiating a transmission session wherein the interface device communicates with the CRM device, prompting a user of the CRM system to select a reason for the transmission session, inputting the selected reason for the transmission session to the interface device, and storing the selected reason for the transmission session and timestamp information for the transmission session.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are related to devices and methods for myocardial ischemia detection, amongst other things. In an embodiment, the invention includes an implantable medical device including control circuitry, an electrical field sensor in communication with the control circuitry, the electrical field sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to cardiac electrical fields. The implantable medical device can also include a chemical sensor in communication with the control circuitry, the chemical sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to the concentration of a physiological analyte that affects cardiac electrical field waveform morphology. The control circuitry can be configured to monitor for the presence of myocardial ischemia by evaluating both the signal generated by the electrical field sensor and the signal generated by the chemical sensor. Other embodiments are also included herein.
