    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for classifying cardiac beats based on activation-recovery intervals (ARIs) or an ARI-related parameter such as the spatial dispersion of activation, recovery or ARIs. The beat classification method may be used in monitoring and detecting cardiac rhythms and/or for controlling a cardiac stimulation therapy. The beat classification method includes acquiring a reference ARI for one or more known types of cardiac beats; measuring the activation-recovery interval of an unknown cardiac beat during cardiac activity monitoring; comparing the measured activation-recovery interval to the stored reference ARI(s); and classifying the cardiac beat based on the comparison between the measured ARI and the reference ARI(s).

    摘要: The present invention relates to the secure delivery of an extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) therapy to treat cardiac dysfunction that employs atrial and/or ventricular extra-systoles via pacing-like stimulation of the heart. These extra-systoles must be timed correctly to achieve beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics (benefit) while maintaining an extremely low level of risk of arrhythmia induction and excellent ICD-like arrhythmia sensing and detection (security). Further experience with ESS has led to improved implementation methods that depend on better blanking, ESS stimulation timing (of an “extra-systolic interval” or ESI), and ESS therapy delivery options and guidance. These methods may be employed individually or in combinations in an external or implantable ESS therapy delivery device.

    摘要: Techniques for estimating the temporal refractory period of a heart, for adjusting a parameter for delivery of extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) therapy and for detecting an arrhythmia during delivery of ESS therapy are disclosed. In some embodiments, probe pulses are periodically delivered to estimate the location of the end boundary of the refractory period, and accordingly estimate its length. In some embodiments, the parameter is adjusted based on estimated length of the refractory period. For example, an extra-systolic interval (ESI) for delivery of ESS is adjusted to be a fixed interval longer than estimated lengths of the refractory period. In other embodiments, the parameter is adjusted based on a measured delay (or latency) between delivery of an ESS pulse and detection of an evoked response resulting from the pulse. In some embodiments, delays between delivery of an ESS pulse and detection of a subsequent depolarization are monitored to detect an arrhythmia.
