摘要:
Fluoroelastomers are combined with chemical agents in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide by swelling the fluoroelastomer with the carbon dioxide, and impregnating the swollen fluorelastomer with the chemical agent. The process can be conducted at relatively low temperatures and pressures such that degradation of the fluoroelastomer or the chemical agent is avoided. The chemical agent is preferably a curing agent which includes functional groups that interact with functional groups on the fluoroelastomer to create an association therebetween. The process is enhanced by pre-dissolving the chemical agent in a solvent which does not solubilize the fluoroelastomer to a great extent, but which is itself soluble in supercritical carbon dioxide. In addition, during combining, mechanical mastication is performed to create a free flowing powder.

Elastomeric polymers are combined with chemical agents in the presence of supercritical fluids such as supercritical carbon dioxide by swelling the polymer with the supercritical fluid, and impregnating the swollen polymer with the chemical agent. The process can be conducted at relatively low temperatures and pressures such that degradation of the polymer or the chemical agent is avoided. The chemical agent is preferably a curing agent which includes functional groups that interact with functional groups on the polymer to create an association therebetween.

An apparatus comprises an implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit configured to provide a sensed depolarization signal from a ventricle and a processor. The processor includes a signal analyzer module and a tachyarrhythmia discrimination module. The signal analyzer module is configured to determine a measure of stability of ventricular (V-V) depolarization intervals using the depolarization signal, and determine a rate of change of the measure of stability. The tachyarrhythmia discrimination module is configured to detect an episode of tachyarrhythmia using the depolarization signal, determine whether the detected tachyarrhythmia is indicative of atrial tachyarrhythmia using the determined rate of change, and provide the determination to a user or process.

An implantable medical device includes a tachyarrhythmia detection and classification system that classifies tachyarrhythmias based on a morphological analysis of template and arrhythmic waveforms. The morphological analysis takes effect of heart rate on the morphological characteristics of the template and arrhythmic waveforms into consideration. Correlation between morphological features of the template waveform and corresponding morphological features of an arrhythmic waveform provides for the basis for classifying the tachyarrhythmia. In one embodiment, corresponding morphological features are extracted from the template and arrhythmic waveforms at locations determined by the heart rate associated with a detected arrhythmia episode. In another embodiment, weighting factors each being a function of the heart rate are applied to the template and arrhythmic morphological features before a correlation coefficient is calculated.

A system comprises a cardiac signal sensing circuit and a processor circuit. The cardiac signal sensing circuit is configured to sense a cardiac signal segment using a set of electrodes connectable to the cardiac signal sensing circuit. The processor circuit is communicatively coupled to the cardiac signal sensing circuit and includes a peak detector circuit. The peak detector circuit is configured to identify, in the cardiac signal segment, a fiducial indicative of ventricular activation that is local to at least one electrode of the first set of electrodes. The fiducial includes a first large positive or negative peak greater than a specified percentage of a maximum peak of the first cardiac signal segment. The processor circuit is configured to provide an indication of local ventricular activation to at least one of a user or process.

An apparatus comprises a cardiac signal sensing circuit, a physiologic sensor circuit configured to provide a physiologic sensor signal representative of mechanical cardiac activity, a therapy circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a cardiac depolarization detection circuit, a tachyarrhythmia detection circuit, and a timer circuit. A time interval between a mechanical cardiac event and a detected fiducial electrical cardiac event is monitored. The control circuit is configured to correct the monitored time interval for variation with heart rate to form a corrected electromechanical time interval, initiate anti-tachyarrhythmia therapy when the corrected electromechanical time interval satisfies a specified time interval threshold value during a detected episode of tachyarrhythmia, and withhold anti-tachyarrhythmia therapy otherwise.
摘要:
Methods and systems for arranging and labeling cardiac episodes based on acquired cardiac episode data are described. Cardiac episodes are algorithmically arranged based on one or more discriminating features of the episode data. A user is presented with at least one episode selected from the arrangement of cardiac episodes. The user inputs a label that characterizes the selected episode. The label is algorithmically appended to the data of the selected episode and to other episodes of the arrangement of cardiac episodes based on the discriminating features.
