摘要： In a system and method for monitoring cardiac synchrony in a human heart, a first sensor is positioned at a first cardiac wall location of a heart that is subject to movements related to longitudinal valve plane movements along the longitudinal axis of the heart, and the first sensor measures said cardiac wall movements at the first cardiac wall location and emits a first sensor output signal corresponding thereto, a second sensor is positioned at a second cardiac wall location of the heart that is subject to movements related to longitudinal valve plane movements along the longitudinal axis of the heart, and the second sensor measures the cardiac wall movements at the second cardiac wall location and emits a second sensor output signal corresponding thereto. A lead arrangement is electrically connected to the first and second sensors and conducts the first and second sensor output signals therefrom to processing circuitry that processes the first and second sensor output signals to produce a synchronization signal therefrom indicative of synchrony in the respective valve plane movements at the first and second cardiac wall locations.

摘要： A pacemaker has control circuits contained in an enclosure and a lead containing an electrical conductor connected to an electrode for delivering electrical stimulation pulses to a heart. The stretching of a wall in the ventricle, corresponding to adequate filling of the ventricle in the heart, is determined in order to identify a time of emitting the stimulation pulses. This stretching is measured indirectly by measurement of pressure in the ventricle using a pressure sensor disposed near the lead in the ventricle. The signal from the sensor is supplied via the lead to circuitry in the enclosure, wherein the signal is amplified and is supplied to an edge detector, which detects an increasing or positive edge of the signal. The edge detector compares the incoming signal with a threshold value, and when the pressure indicated by the signal increases so as to exceed the threshold value, the edge detector supplies a signal to the control circuit which, in turn, triggers the emission of a stimulation pulse from a pulse generator, with or without a delay. The aforementioned stretching can also be measured using a strain gauge or a distance sensor attached to the ventricle wall.

摘要： The present invention relates generally to implantable medical devices and more particularly to systems and methods for stimulating a heart of a patient. A first ventricle is activated by delivering stimulation to at least one stimulation site, a point of time for arrival at the AV node for at least one depolarization wave resulting from the stimulation in the first ventricle is estimated and a first activation time interval substantially corresponding to the time interval required for at least one depolarization wave to travel from the stimulation site in the first ventricle to the AV node using the estimated point of time for arrival of the depolarization wave and a point of time for delivery of stimulation is computed. Thereafter, the other ventricle is stimulated by delivering stimulation to at least one stimulation site. A point of time for arrival at the AV node for at least one depolarization wave resulting from the stimulation in the other ventricle is then estimated and a second activation time interval substantially corresponding to the time required for at least one depolarization wave to travel from the stimulation site in the other ventricle to the AV node using the estimated arrival of the depolarization wave and the point of time for delivery of stimulation is computed. Based on these activation time intervals and a difference between the intervals, a pacing therapy can be determined, wherein the first ventricle is paced prior to activation of the other ventricle if the activation time difference indicates that the first activation time interval is longer than the second activation time interval and the other ventricle is paced prior to activation of the first ventricle if the activation time difference indicates that the second activation time interval is longer than the first activation time interval.

摘要： An implantable bi-ventricular heart stimulating device (10) has a control circuit with first and second sensing circuits for respectively sensing in the two ventricles and first and second stimulation circuits for respectively stimulating the two ventricles. The control circuit determines whether a signal, sensed by said second sensing circuit, occurs essentially simultaneously with a signal sensed by the first sensing circuit. Furthermore, the control circuit determines whether a further signal is sensed by said second sensing circuit within a predetermined time interval which follows after the signal sensed by the second sensing circuit but within the same time cycle as that signal. If this occurs, the control circuit determines whether the sensed signals represent actual cardiac events, or are likely the result of far field detection.

摘要： A patient-specific hemodyanmic status model is determined from impedance data collected during periods of normal and abnormal hemodynamic status by deriving parameter values of a set of multiple impedance-derivable parameters from impedance signals collected during periods of normal hemodynamic status and in connection with periods of abnormal hemodynamic status. The parameter values are employed to estimate coefficients of a linear parametric status model. These coefficients can then be used together with parameter values determined from impedance signals determined during status assessment periods in order to determine a current hemdoynamic status of the patient.

摘要： In an implantable medical device and a method for monitoring ventricular synchronicity of a heart. In particular, impedance signals are measured and an occurrence of a notch is detected in the impedance signal coincident with a period including a change from rapid to slow filling of a ventricle. The notch is indicated by a first positive slope change in a negative slope in a predetermined time window during a diastolic phase of a cardiac cycle. A degree of synchronicity is determined based on the notch feature, wherein a decreasing notch feature indicates an increased degree of synchronicity in the filling phase of the ventricles.

摘要： A device for identifying abnormal conditions in a heart retrograde conduction and tachyarrhythmias in particular, includes a differentiating circuit electrically connected to a heart to be monitored in order to differentiate ECG signals from the heart. The differentiated signal is plotted against the ECG signal. The radius (distance from a point on the resulting curve from the origin of the plot axes) in the resulting curve is calculated in a calculator unit. The radius obtained is then compared with a threshold value in a comparator and a sequence for the progression of the radius in relation to the threshold value is obtained and compared with previously obtained sequences stored in a sequence analyzer.
