摘要:
Techniques are described for detecting ischemia, hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia based on intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) signals. Ischemia is detected based on a shortening of the interval between the QRS complex and the end of a T-wave (QTmax), alone or in combination with a change in ST segment elevation. Alternatively, ischemia is detected based on a change in ST segment elevation combined with minimal change in the interval between the QRS complex and the end of the T-wave (QTend). Hypoglycemia is detected based on a change in ST segment elevation along with a lengthening of either QTmax or QTend. Hyperglycemia is detected based on a change in ST segment elevation along with minimal change in QTmax and in QTend. By exploiting QTmax and QTend in combination with ST segment elevation, changes in ST segment elevation caused by hypo/hyperglycemia can be properly distinguished from changes caused by ischemia.

摘要:
Techniques are provided for use in a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) for distinguishing cardiac ischemia from other conditions affecting the morphology of electrical cardiac signals sensed within a patient, such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia or other systemic conditions. In one example, the device detects changes in morphological features of cardiac signals indicative of possible cardiac ischemia within the patient, such as changes in ST segment elevation within an intracardiac electrogram (IEGM). The device determines whether the changes in the morphological features are the result of spatially localized changes within a portion of the heart and then distinguishes cardiac ischemia from other conditions affecting the morphology of electrical cardiac signals based on that determination. In another example, the device exploits the interval between the peak of a T-wave (Tmax) and the end of the T-wave (Tend). A significant increase in the Tend−Tmax interval is indicative of ischemia rather than a systemic condition.

摘要:
Methods and systems are presented for using an ICD to detect myocardial ischemia. In one embodiment, a method includes sensing a signal indicative of cardiac pressure, measuring a height of the sensed signal at a peak amplitude of the sensed signal, and measuring a duration of the sensed signal. The method further includes indicating an ischemia based on a comparison of a ratio of the height to the duration with a predetermined value. In another embodiment, a method includes sensing a signal indicative of cardiac pressure, determining a derivative signal that is a first derivative of the sensed signal, measuring a maximum positive value of the derivative signal, and measuring a maximum negative value of the derivative signal. The method further includes indicating an ischemia based on a comparison of a ratio of the maximum positive value to the maximum negative value with a predetermined value.
