摘要:
A system provides cardiac arrhythmia detection and performs blood pressure analysis of multiple catheter channels of blood pressure signals to characterize heart hemodynamic activity. A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection includes a repository, data processor and output processor. The repository of data comprises, first distribution data representing a probability distribution of a first patient parameter over a first time period and acquired on a first occasion and second distribution data representing a probability distribution of the first patient parameter over a second time period and acquired on a second occasion subsequent to the first occasion. The data processor calculates an overlap indicator indicating degree of overlap of the first distribution data and the second distribution data in a predetermined interval of the distributions. The output processor provides the calculated overlap indicator to a destination device.

A system for heart performance characterization receives an electrical signal indicating heart electrical activity of a patient over a heart beat cycle. The electrical signal is acquired at a particular anatomical location. A gating signal generator generates a gating signal for use in identifying a particular portion of the heart beat cycle. An acquisition device, responsive to the gating signal, derives first and second voltage potentials from the received electrical signal. The first voltage potential comprises a voltage potential derived over a time period comprising a heart beat cycle and the second voltage potential comprises a voltage potential derived over a time period comprising a particular portion of the heart beat cycle. A computation processor derives a dynamic impedance representative value by adjusting a baseline impedance value by a ratio of the first and second voltage potentials. The dynamic impedance represents an average impedance at the particular anatomical location over a time period comprising the particular portion of the heart beat cycle.

A system for adaptively processing patient monitoring signals comprises an input processor for acquiring a signal having amplitude representing electrical activity of a patient heart over time. A signal processor identifies different portions of the signal associated with different phases of cardiac activity by, inverting the signal to provide an inverted signal, aligning the signal and the inverted signal in amplitude during a cardiac rest portion and identifying one or more of the different portions in response to an intersection point of the signal and the inverted signal. Multiple adaptive signal filters are used to filter multiple bandwidths of corresponding different portions of the signal.

A system and method provides monitoring for atrial fibrillation. A data acquisition processor acquires a cardiac signal data stream from a patient and a wave detector detects an R-wave in a cardiac signal of the data stream. A T-wave in the cardiac signal occurring after the detected R-wave and a Q-wave in a subsequent cardiac signal of the data stream is also detected by the wave detector. A filter provides signal gating and extraction of data representing a Region of Interest (ROI) time window from the detected T-wave to the Q-wave. An integration processor detects characteristics of a P wave signal occurring within the ROI time window. At least one of the detected P wave characteristics is compared to characteristics derived from data representing at least one P wave signal and generating an output signal in response to the comparison for use in determining if the patient is in atrial fibrillation.

Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating adaptive control of monitoring devices. In accordance with one aspect, a position detector detects a chest elevation level and provides chest elevation level data. A processor uses the chest elevation level data to determine a heart elevation level with respect to a reference level. A comparator compares the determined heart elevation level with an elevation level of a monitoring device with respect to the reference level. In response to the comparison, a movement system adjusts the elevation level of the monitoring device.

A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection detects peaks and at least one of, a valley and a baseline comprising a substantially zero voltage level, of received signal data representing oxygen content of blood in a patient vessel over multiple heart beat cycles. The signal processor determines signal parameters including at least one of, (a) a signal amplitude magnitude between a maximum peak and minimum valley, of the received signal data, (b) a signal amplitude magnitude between a maximum peak and a baseline, of the received signal data and (c) a signal amplitude magnitude between a second highest maximum peak and minimum valley, of the received signal data. The system compares a determined signal parameter or value derived from the determined signal parameter, with a threshold value and generates an alert message associated with the threshold, in response to the comparison.

A device interface selectively acquires patient physiological parameter data. An acquisition processor acquires physiological data from a patient. A communication processor is coupled to an optical communication pathway for receiving a plurality of optical signals from a source. A conversion processor is electrically coupled to the acquisition processor and communication processor and converts a first optical power signal at a first frequency and received via the optical communication pathway using the communication processor, to a first electrical signal for providing power to said device interface. The conversion processor converts an optical control signal at a second frequency different from the first frequency and received via the optical communication pathway using the communication processor, to a second electrical signal for providing control data to the acquisition processor directing the acquisition processor to acquire at least one physiological parameter from a patient.
摘要:
A medical imaging system adaptively acquires anatomical images using a shape adaptive collimator including multiple different portions of X-ray absorbent material automatically adjustable to alter the dimensions of a spatial cross section of an X-ray beam of radiation into a non-rectangular shape, in response to a control signal. The synchronization processor provides a heart rate related synchronization signal derived from a patient cardiac function related parameter. The synchronization signal enables adaptive variation in timing of image acquisition within an individual heart cycle and between successive heart cycles of each individual image frame of multiple sequential image frames. The X-ray image acquisition device uses the shape adaptive collimator for acquiring anatomical images of the region of interest with reduced patient X-ray exposure in response to the synchronization signal. A display processor presents resultant images.
