    摘要: Techniques are described for generating diagnostic information to aid in determining whether cardiac ischemia within a patient is clinically actionable. In one example, a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) detects information pertaining to arrhythmia precursors and to episodes of sustained arrhythmias, as well as information pertaining to episodes of cardiac ischemia. The implanted device then correlates the arrhythmia precursors and the sustained arrhythmias with the episodes of cardiac ischemia so as to generate diagnostics permitting a physician reviewing the diagnostics to determine whether the ischemia is clinically actionable. In some implementations, the diagnostics are instead generated by an external system based on raw data provided by the implanted device. In some implementations, the device itself determines whether the ischemia is clinically actionable and automatically controls therapy or generates warning signals accordingly.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for discriminating heart arrhythmias. The methods and systems include identifying an arrhythmia, recording a predetermined number of beats during the arrhythmia as a base arrhythmia (BA) beats; delivering anti-tachy pacing (ATP) therapy to at least one chamber of the heart. After delivering the ATP therapy, the methods and system record at least one return beat representing cardiac activity following the ATP therapy, determines whether the return beat originated in a reference chamber of the heart, compares a morphology of the return beat to a morphology of the BA beat; and declares a VT or SVT based on the comparing operation.

    摘要: Techniques are described for efficiently detecting and distinguishing among cardiac ischemia, hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia based on intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) signals. In one example, a preliminary indication of an episode of cardiac ischemia is detected based on shifts in ST segment elevation within the IEGM. In response, the implanted device then records additional IEGM data for transmission to an external system. The external system analyzes the additional IEGM data to confirm the detection of cardiac ischemia using a more sophisticated analysis procedure exploiting additional detection parameters. In particular, the external system uses detection parameters capable of distinguishing hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and hyperkalemia from cardiac ischemia, such as QTmax and QTend intervals. Alternatively, the more sophisticated analysis procedure may be performed by the device itself, if it is so equipped. Other examples described herein pertain instead to the detection of atrial fibrillation.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for use with an implantable medical device for detecting and assessing heart failure and for controlling cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) based on impedance signals obtained using hybrid impedance configurations. The hybrid configurations exploit right atrial (RA)-based impedance measurement vectors and/or left ventricular (LV)-based impedance measurement vectors. In one example, current is injected between the device case and a ring electrode in the right ventricle (RV) or RA. RA-based impedance values are measured along vectors between the device case and an RA electrode. LV-based impedance values are measured along vectors between the device case and one or more electrodes of the LV. Heart failure and other cardiac conditions are detected and tracked using the measured impedance values. CRT delay parameters are also optimized based impedance. In this manner, multiple hybrid impedance measurement configurations are exploited whereby different vectors are used to inject current and measure impedance.
