    摘要: There is provided a pacing system having special functions for treating the patient's atrium with atrial pacing so as to reduce the probability of occurrence of dangerous atrial arrhythmias. The pacemaker of the system provides for atrial Pace.sub.-- Conditioning, whereby the patient's normal intrinsic atrial rate is overridden by higher rate pacing whenever a predetermined sequence of intrinsic heartbeats is sensed. The pacemaker also provides for special pacing routines following the detection of one or more PACs. The PAC response routines include pacing at an elevated rate for a predetermined time or number of beats, and smoothing out pacing intervals for one or several cycles following the occurrence of a PAC. The pacemaker also includes a post-exercise function, for overtaking the intrinsic rate and pacing the heart following exercise, the pacing being in accordance with a predetermined program which holds a relatively higher rate longer than normal post-exercise, so as to provide enhanced blood flow to the cardiac tissue and prevent the onset of ischemia.

    摘要: A pacemaker system is provided which provides for more flexibility in re-programming of the control software, or program which is controlling an implanted pacemaker. The system comprises an external programmer device which is capable both of programming the implanted device in a conventional way, and also downloading new control software to the implanted device, subject to predetermined system conditions. All implanted devices, e.g., pacemakers within the system of the invention, share a hardware platform, and are identified as belonging to a given one of a plurality of groups, each group being characterized as providing therapy aimed at a different condition. Each pacemaker also carries type data, indicating the type of pacemaker within the group, and a set of permissions data representative of different types within the group to which it is permitted to be programmed. Upon interrogating the implanted device, the programmer determines whether the device is part of the system, what its group and type is, and whether it is able to modify the device.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for interrogating an implantable medical device (IMD) using a platform-independent interrogation process with an interrogator device, such that the interrogation is initiated by the interrogator device without requiring information relating to the location of where the diagnostic data is stored in the memory of the IMD and without requiring information related to the type or format of the diagnostic data. By utilizing a platform-independent interrogation process, a generic universal interrogation process can be utilized that can be extended across IMDs and interrogator devices capable of having different platforms. Further, the platform-independent interrogation process allows an interrogation device to interrogate different types of IMDs, and also allows IMDs to be interrogated by different types of interrogator devices, thereby allowing IMDs and interrogator devices to be interchangeably used and easily updated without requiring entire interrogation system reconfigurations.
