    摘要: In bi-ventricular pacing devices (including CRT devices) analysis of myocardial electrogram signals in one ventricle (e.g., a left ventricle, or “LV”) can be used to infer capture or loss-of-capture (LOC) of an earlier stimulus pulse in the same ventricle, on a continuous (every pacing cycle), triggered, aperiodic and/or periodic basis. Rather than using an evoked-response principle as has been the basis of capture detection in prior art and other systems, a principle employed via the present invention uses evidence of inter-ventricular conduction (i.e., from the opposite chamber) and/or atrio-ventricular conduction as evidence of LOC, since a non-capturing pacing stimulus provided to a first chamber will allow the myocardial tissue of the first chamber to remain non-refractory and thus inter-ventricular and atrio-ventricular wavefront propagation and conduction can commence and be detected thereby revealing whether LOC has occurred.

    摘要: A capture detection algorithm detects and distinguishes atrial capture. Atrial chamber reset (ACR) and AV conduction (AVC) algorithms are implemented to measure an atrial pacing threshold The data that is used to choose between ACR and AVC methods is used to determine the progression of the patient's disease state. Some of the significant aspects of the invention include enablement of accurate threshold measurements, including calculation of stability criteria, precise interval measurements and the use of reference interval to determine capture and loss of capture.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for reliably indicating that an implantable medical device is in need of replacement. An implantable medical device includes a battery and a replacement indicator timer. The battery provides power to the implantable medical device. The replacement indicator timer counts a replacement time period to a determined replacement date for the implantable medical device. The replacement indicator timer starts the counting when an operational characteristic of the battery reaches a selected value.

    摘要: An automatic, body-implantable medical device having at least two modes of operation is disclosed. The device is provided with circuitry for automatically detecting when the device has been implanted in a patient, so that the device can automatically switch from a first mode to a second mode of operation upon implantation. In one embodiment, the first mode is a power conserving mode in which one or more non-essential sub-systems of the device are disabled. Prior to detection of implant, at least two conditions of the device known to reflect whether the device has been implanted are monitored. After implant has been detected, situations in which power to the device is disrupted and then restored will cause the device to enter a predefined "power-on-reset" mode of operation. Prior to detection of implant, however, such conditions do not result in the device entering the power-on-reset mode, or this mode is reset. An Elective Replacement Indicator mode is also used which is based on measured impedance against a target battery impedance. When the measured battery impedance reaches the target level, the voltage of the battery that precipitates an ERI condition is modified.

    摘要: An AV search method and apparatus is taught with some variation described. It allows a pacemaker to find the appropriate AV interval so as to avoid pacing in the ventricle when it is not necessary, even if there is intermittent AV conduction in the patient. Also, an adaptive PVARP method and apparatus is disclosed that allows the PVARP and AV interval to be adjusted together automatically.

    摘要: An implantable medical device telemetry system provides a means for decoding telemetry downlink information transmitted from an external unit to an implanted medical device, and for encoding telemetry uplink signals to be transmitted from the implanted device to the external unit. A novel system architecture results in a very small telemetry subsystem in the implanted device and a very flexible system adaptable to be used in conjunction with various telemetry formats of various implanted devices. A programmable logic array (PLA) structure that is mask programmable and which may further be partially RAM programmable serves as the basis of the telemetry subsystem. For downlink telemetry, a counter is enabled during intervals of interest in the downlink RF burst stream. The counter value at the end of such an interval is then applied to the variable inputs of the PLA tier decoding in accordance with a selected telemetry protocol. For uplink telemetry, the counter and PLA is used to control transmission of uplink telemetry pulses, such that pulses are pulse-position modulated in accordance with data to be transmitted. Various different telemetry protocols may be supported by the same telemetry circuit, which may be mask-programmed at the time of manufacture to be compatible with one or more different telemetry protocols.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for reliably indicating that an implantable medical device is in need of replacement. The system and method measures the operational characteristics of the battery and the operational parameters of the implantable device itself. When these characteristics and parameters reach a defined level, the implantable medical device starts a replacement indicator timer. The replacement indicator timer starts and counts a replacement time period, with the replacement time period ending at a determined replacement date. The determined replacement date is the date at which the implantable medical device should be replaced.
