摘要： An implantable cardiac stimulator (10), configured to switch mode of operation between at least one right ventricular stimulation mode in which no control signals triggering left ventricular stimulation pulses are delivered to the left ventricular stimulation unit and a biventricular stimulation mode in alternation. Switching takes place as a function of duration of prevailing QRS signal interval, such that the cardiac stimulator switches to biventricular stimulation mode when comparison of the duration of a prevailing QRS signal interval with a first comparison value reveals the duration of the prevailing QRS signal interval is longer than a first reference value represented by the first comparison value and switches to right ventricular stimulation mode when comparison of the duration of a prevailing QRS signal interval with a second comparison value reveals the duration of the prevailing QRS signal interval is shorter than a second reference value represented by the second comparison value.

摘要： A medical device for processing physiological signals such as electrocardiograms. The processing includes: sampling a physiologic signal in a first channel with a first sampling rate, simultaneously sampling the physiologic signal in a second channel with a higher sampling rate to thus generate pairs of sampling values, forming the difference between two sampling values of each pair, comparing said difference with a threshold, and generating a noise detection indicator whenever said threshold is exceeded.

摘要： A medical device having a sensor for sampling a biological signal, the biological signal representing a signal waveform and forming a waveform vector composed of the biological signal samples, and a memory for storing a least two threshold vectors composed of boundary samples representing at least two boundaries related to the biological signal defining subspaces for the biological signal samples. One threshold vector is an upper threshold vector composed of upper boundary samples and the other threshold vector is a lower threshold vector composed of lower boundary samples. An evaluation unit connected to the sensor determines a similarity index (ASCI) by comparing each of the biological signal samples of the waveform vector to corresponding boundary samples of the threshold vectors, thus determining to which subspace each biological signal sample belongs to and creating a trichotomized signal vector, and calculating the signed correlation product of two trichotomized signal vectors.
