摘要： Techniques are described for detecting ischemia, hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia based on intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) signals. Ischemia is detected based on a shortening of the interval between the QRS complex and the end of a T-wave (QTmax), alone or in combination with a change in ST segment elevation. Alternatively, ischemia is detected based on a change in ST segment elevation combined with minimal change in the interval between the QRS complex and the end of the T-wave (QTend). Hypoglycemia is detected based on a change in ST segment elevation along with a lengthening of either QTmax or QTend. Hyperglycemia is detected based on a change in ST segment elevation along with minimal change in QTmax and in QTend. By exploiting QTmax and QTend in combination with ST segment elevation, changes in ST segment elevation caused by hypo/hyperglycemia can be properly distinguished from changes caused by ischemia.

摘要： A method and device for evaluating the progression of a patient's condition, which in certain applications can include heart failure, on an ongoing manner which reduces the need for immediate attention from skilled clinicians or expensive diagnostic equipment. The method and device analyze relative timing between electrical and mechanical properties of the heart. Detection of an elongated delay between corresponding electrical and mechanical activity is interpreted as indicating a worsening heart failure condition. The analysis and data corresponding thereto can be stored for further analysis and/or telemetrically communicated to an external device. Therapy provided by the device can be altered based on the evaluation of the patient's condition.

摘要： Methods and systems are presented for using an ICD to detect myocardial ischemia. In one embodiment, a method includes sensing a signal indicative of cardiac pressure, measuring a height of the sensed signal at a peak amplitude of the sensed signal, and measuring a duration of the sensed signal. The method further includes indicating an ischemia based on a comparison of a ratio of the height to the duration with a predetermined value. In another embodiment, a method includes sensing a signal indicative of cardiac pressure, determining a derivative signal that is a first derivative of the sensed signal, measuring a maximum positive value of the derivative signal, and measuring a maximum negative value of the derivative signal. The method further includes indicating an ischemia based on a comparison of a ratio of the maximum positive value to the maximum negative value with a predetermined value.

摘要： An implantable cardiac device is used to measure one or more parameters relating to cardiac activity of a patient's heart, from which diastolic heart failure (“DHF”) may be monitored and/or detected. These parameters are used to calculate ventricular isovolumetric relaxation time or a related time value. Heart conditions possibly having an influence on the ventricular isovolumetric relaxation time, other than heart conditions due to reduced compliance, may be detected and used to prevent an incorrect calculation of the ventricular isovolumetric relaxation time. The parameters may be measured and the relaxation time calculated multiple times over a period of time, which enables monitoring of the progression of change in the relaxation time. The relaxation time and the progression of change therein are indicators of DHF.

摘要： Tachyarrhythmia is treated by applying anti-tachycardia pacing through at least one multi-site electrode set located on, in or around the heart. The electrode set is arranged and located such that an electrical activation pattern having a wave-front between substantially flat and concave is generated through a reentrant circuit associated with the tachyarrhythmia. The electrode set may be one of a plurality of predefined, multi-site electrode sets located on, in or around the atria. Alternatively, the electrode set may be formed using at least two selectable electrodes located on, in or around the atria.

摘要： Techniques are provided for detecting left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LV EDP) using a pressure sensor implanted within the heart of a patient and for detecting and evaluating heart failure and pulmonary edema based on LV EDP. Briefly, the peak of the R-wave of an intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) is used to trigger the measurement of a pressure value within the left ventricle. This pressure value is deemed to be representative of LV EDP. In this manner, LV EDP is easily detected merely by measuring pressure at one point within the heartbeat—thereby eliminating any need to track ventricular pressure throughout the heartbeat. Techniques for detecting and evaluating heart failure and pulmonary edema based on the R-wave triggered LV EDP measurements are also set forth herein.
