    摘要: A system and method for powering an implantable cardiac therapy device (ICTD) uses a hybrid battery system. In an embodiment, the hybrid battery system includes of a first type of power cell and a second type of power cell. The first power cell is configured to power low voltage, low current background operations of the ICTD. The second power cell is configured to power high voltage, high current cardiac shocking. The second power cell is further configured to be charged by the first power cell via a continuous, non-regulated charging process, thereby reducing the complexity of the charging circuitry. The system is further configured so that when cardiac shocking is in progress, only the secondary power cell powers the shocking capacitor(s) of the ICTD, and the first power cell is electrically isolated from the shocking capacitor(s). This configuration contributes to longer battery life of the hybrid battery system.

    摘要: A leadless implantable medical device (LIMD) includes a housing formed from a battery and an end cap. A proximal end of the end cap forms an LIMD proximal end and a distal end of the battery case forms an LIMD distal end. A non-conductive coupler mechanically secures a terminal end of the battery case to a mating end of the end cap, while maintaining the battery case and end cap electrically separated. A first electrode projects from the proximal end of the end cap. An intra-cardiac (IC) device extension projects from the distal end of the battery case. The extension includes a second electrode that is electrically connected to the battery case. The second electrode is located remote from the LIMD distal end. An electronics module is located within an internal cavity of the end cap and communicates with the first and second electrodes.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for detecting the orientation and/or movement of a patient having an implantable cardiac stimulation device and evaluating whether a change in the patient's cardiac activity can be at least in part due to a change in the patient's orientation. In one particular embodiment, signals from an orientation sensor and/or a pressure sensor are evaluated to determine static positional orientation of the patient and determine based on the static orientation whether the patient's cardiac activity is abnormal.
