摘要:
An implantable medical device delivers anti-tachyarrhythmia therapies including anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP). If a detected tachyarrhythmia is classified as a type suitable for treatment using ATP, the implantable medical device selects one of an atrial ATP (A-ATP) mode, a ventricular ATP (V-ATP) mode, and a concurrent atrio-ventricular ATP (concurrent AV-ATP) mode according to the characteristics of the detected tachyarrhythmia. The concurrent ATP mode is an ATP mode during which the atrial pacing pulses and the ventricular pacing pulses are delivered concurrently. In one embodiment, the concurrent AV-ATP mode includes a synchronized atrio-ventricular ATP (synchronized AV-ATP) mode during which atrial and ventricular pacing pulses are delivered synchronously and an independent atrio-ventricular ATP (independent AV-ATP) mode during which atrial and ventricular pacing pulses are delivered concurrently but timed independently.

An apparatus comprises first and second sensing circuits, a template generator circuit, and a correlation circuit. The correlation circuit is configured to identify a first fiducial position in a third cardiac signal sensed using the first sensing circuit during a detected rhythm with elevated ventricular rate, align the template correlation features and the correlation features of a fourth cardiac signal using the first fiducial position, calculate a correlation using the correlation features of the template and the correlation features of the fourth cardiac signal, and iteratively searching for a replacement to the first fiducial position in the third cardiac signal according to the calculated correlation.
摘要:
An implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) delivers atrial pacing under several scenarios during a tachyarrhythmia episode that is detected using a ventricular rate. In various embodiments, the atrial pacing terminates the detected tachyarrhythmia and/or enhances the classification of the detected tachyarrhythmia, thus avoiding ineffective and/or unnecessary delivery of a ventricular anti-tachyarrhythmia therapy when the detected tachyarrhythmia has a supraventricular origin.

摘要:
An apparatus comprising an implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit configured for sensing an intrinsic cardiac signal, a memory to store a template of a morphology of normal atrial-ventricular conduction, and a controller that includes a tachyarrhythmia detection circuit and a correlation circuit. The tachyarrhythmia detection circuit is configured for detecting a rhythm with elevated ventricular rate using the sensed intrinsic cardiac signal. The correlation circuit is configured for iteratively calculating a correlation between the sensed intrinsic cardiac signal and the template, and comparing the calculated correlation to a variable correlation threshold to determine whether the detected rhythm correlates to the template. The apparatus also includes a therapy circuit configured for inhibiting a ventricular tachycardia therapy when the detected rhythm correlates to the template. Other apparatuses and methods are described.
