    摘要: A system and method for waking up an implantable medical device (“IMD”) from a sleep state in which power consumption by the IMD is essentially zero. The IMD may be adapted to perform one or more designated measurement and/or therapeutic functions. In one embodiment, the IMD includes a wake-up sensor that is adapted to sense the presence or absence of a wake-up field generated by another IMD or an external device. The wake-up field may, in some embodiments, be an electromagnetic field, a magnetic field, or a physiologically sub-threshold excitation current (i.e., E-field). Upon sensing by the wake-up sensor of the wake-up field, other components of the IMD, which may include a controller, a sensing and/or therapy module, and/or a communications module, are awakened to perform one or more designated functions.

    摘要: An implantable medical device (IMD) is adapted for detecting acoustic chest sounds. The IMD includes a pulse generator having a compartment, the compartment defining an isolated cavity bounded by a back wall. A diaphragm is disposed over and encloses the cavity. An acoustic sensor adapted to sense chest sounds and generate a signal is disposed between the diaphragm and the back wall. The IMD also includes a control circuit disposed within the pulse generator. The circuit is operatively coupled to the acoustic sensor and is adapted to receive the signal.

    摘要: An apparatus and method is presented for an implanted sound sensor wirelessly communicating with an implantable medical device, or with an external monitoring device. The second sensor may be located inside a blood vessel anchored by an expandable stent like device, and may be drug coated. The sound sensor may be a solid-state microphone having a unidirectional characteristic and may be aimed at a selected portion of the heart, lung, or other location. There may be a network of sound sensors forming a local area network with the implantable medical device. The information from the sound sensor may be analyzed, filtered, transformed, compared to a standard and stored in the implantable device, or it may be passed on to an external location. The results of the analysis may be use to initiate a closed-loop treatment by the implantable medical device, such as cardiac pacing or defibrillation.

    摘要: An implantable medical device includes a dual-use sensor such as a single accelerometer that senses an acceleration signal. A sensor processing circuit processes the acceleration signal to produce an activity level signal and a heart sound signal. The implantable medical device provides for rate responsive pacing in which at least one pacing parameter, such as the pacing interval, is dynamically adjusted based on the physical activity level. The implantable medical device also uses the heart sounds for pacing control purposes or transmits a heart sound signal to an external system for pacing control and/or diagnostic purposes.
