摘要： An implantable system acquires intracardiac impedance with an implantable lead system. In one implementation, the system generates frequency-rich, low energy, multi-phasic waveforms that provide a net-zero charge and a net-zero voltage. When applied to bodily tissues, current pulses or voltage pulses having the multi-phasic waveform provide increased specificity and sensitivity in probing tissue. The effects of the applied pulses are sensed as a corresponding waveform. The waveforms of the applied and sensed pulses can be integrated to obtain corresponding area values that represent the current and voltage across a spectrum of frequencies. These areas can be compared to obtain a reliable impedance value for the tissue. Frequency response, phase delay, and response to modulated pulse width can also be measured to determine a relative capacitance of the tissue, indicative of infarcted tissue, blood to tissue ratio, degree of edema, and other physiological parameters.

摘要： An implantable device monitors and treats heart failure, pulmonary edema, and hemodynamic conditions and in some cases applies therapy. In one implementation, the implantable device applies a high-frequency multi-phasic pulse waveform over multiple-vectors through tissue. The waveform has a duration less than the charging time constant of electrode-electrolyte interfaces in vivo to reduce intrusiveness while increasing sensitivity and specificity for trending parameters. The waveform can be multiplexed over multiple vectors and the results cross-correlated or subjected to probabilistic analysis or thresholding schemata to stage heart failure or pulmonary edema. In one implementation, a fractionation morphology of a sensed impedance waveform is used to trend intracardiac pressure to stage heart failure and to regulate cardiac resynchronization therapy. The waveform also provides unintrusive electrode integrity checks and 3-D impedancegrams.

摘要： Techniques are provided for controlling therapy provided by the implantable cardiac stimulation device based on cardiogenic impedance. A cardiogenic impedance signal (or intracardiac impedance signal) is an impedance signal representative of the beating of the heart of the patient in which the device is implanted. The cardiogenic impedance signal is sensed along a sensing vector passing through at least a portion of the heart so that the sensed impedance is affected by the mechanical beating of the heart along that sensing vector. Pacing therapy is automatically and adaptively adjusted based on the cardiogenic impedance signal. For example, pacing timing parameters such as the atrioventricular delay and the inter-ventricular delay may be adjusted. Preferably, the adjustments are adaptive, i.e. the adjustments are performed in a closed-loop so as to adapt the adjustments to changes in the cardiogenic impedance signal so as to optimize therapy. In one particular example, the adjustments are performed so as to reduce a degree of fractionation within a cardiogenic impedance waveform.
