    摘要: The present invention provides implantable medical devices for detecting phrenic nerve stimulation. A pacing module is configured to deliver pacing pulses having a predetermined pulse amplitude and/or width within the refractory period of the left ventricle. The pacing pulses are repeatedly delivered during a number of cardiac cycles, and the pacing pulses are delivered at different delays relative to an onset of the refractory period of the left ventricle in different cardiac cycles. An impedance measurement module is configured to measure impedance signals in time windows synchronized with the delivery of pacing pulses in the refractory period of the left ventricle. A phrenic nerve stimulation, PNS, detection module is configured to gather at least one impedance signal from each time window, create aggregated impedance signals using the impedance signals from the different time windows, and analyze the aggregated impedance signals to detect PNS.

    摘要: CRT settings for an implantable medical device are determined by applying pacing pulses to heart chambers of a scheme of different combinations of interchamber delays. A respective width parameter value representing an R or P wave width is determined for each such delay combination based on an ECG representing signal and the width parameter values are employed to estimate a parametric model defining the width parameter as a function of interchamber delays. Candidate interchamber delays that minimize the width parameter are determined from the parametric model and employed to determine optimal CRT settings. The technique provides an efficient way of finding optimal CRT settings when multiple pacing sites are available in a heart chamber.

    摘要: A device senses cardioelectrical signals using a right atrial (RA) lead, which might include far-field R-waves as well as near-field P-waves. The device concurrently senses events using a proximal electrode of an LV lead, which can sense both P-waves and R-waves as substantially near-field events. Suitable templates are then applied to the signals sensed via the proximal LV electrode to identify the origin of the signals (e.g. atrial vs. ventricular) so as to properly classify the corresponding events sensed in the RA as near-field or far-field events. In this manner, far-field oversensing is conveniently detected.

    摘要: Pacing related timing is determined for an implantable medical device (IMD) by pacing at an RV pacing site, a first LV pacing site and a second LV pacing site in accordance with a first site, a second site and a third site pacing order, and further in accordance with a first inter-electrode pacing delay between pacing at the first site and pacing at the second site and a second inter-electrode pacing delay between pacing at the second site and pacing at the third site. At least one of a sensed event or a paced event is detected for at each of the second site and the third site. The first inter-electrode pacing delay and the second inter-electrode pacing delay are adjusted to avoid sensed events in favor of paced events at each of the second site and the third site. An atrio-ventricular delay may also be adjusted to avoid sensed events or lack of capture due to possible fusion at the first site, in favor of paced events at the first site.

    摘要: An ischemia monitoring system has detectors for detecting the onset of an ischemic event of a tissue in subject, the end of the ischemic event and the end of a following recovery from the ischemic event, respectively. A time processor determines the duration of the ischemic event and the recovery period based on the detected onset and end times. A status processor co-processes the two determined time durations for the purpose of monitoring the ischemic status of the subject and detecting any deterioration in ischemic status for the latest ischemic event as compared to previous ischemic events that have occurred in the subject's tissue.
