    摘要: A medical device system determines and displays relative energy expenditure information for programmable parameter values. The system establishes a programmable parameter and multiple values of the parameter to be compared. A module performs a measurements for each of the multiple values and related to energy expenditure of a battery of an implantable medical device when operating according to each of the multiple parameter values. An energy expenditure for each of the values is computed using the measurements, and a graphical user interface is generated for displaying information corresponding to the computed energy expenditure for multiple parameter values.

    摘要: Various techniques for selecting a pacing vector based on pacing capture thresholds are described. One example method described includes for each of a plurality of vectors, iteratively delivering at least one pacing stimulus at each of a plurality of magnitudes within a predetermined range of magnitudes to a first chamber, determining if a depolarization occurred in a second chamber of the heart within a predetermined threshold time interval after the pacing stimulus that is less than an interval, identifying a pacing stimulus for which a depolarization in the second chamber does not occur within the predetermined threshold time interval, determining a capture threshold magnitude for the vector based on the magnitude of the pacing pulse for which a depolarization in the second chamber does not occur within the predetermined threshold time interval, and recording the capture threshold magnitudes.

    摘要: An implantable device and associated method discriminate between cathodal and anodal capture during electrical stimulation. A control response to a pacing pulse delivered using a candidate cathode electrode and a universal anode and responses to bipolar pacing pulses delivered using candidate bipoles including the candidate cathode are measured. Responsive to the control response meeting a threshold response, the control response is classified as normal and each of the responses for the candidate bipoles are compared to the control response. The responses for the candidate bipoles are each classified based on the comparison.

    摘要: According to some methods, for example, preprogrammed in a microprocessor element of an implantable cardiac pacing system, at least one of a number of periodic pacing threshold searches includes steps to reduce an evoked response amplitude threshold for evoked response signal detection. The reduction may be to a minimum value measurable above zero, for example, as determined by establishing a ‘noise floor’. Alternately, amplitudes of test pacing pulses and corresponding post pulse signals are collected and reviewed to search for a break, to determine a lower value to which the evoked response threshold may be adjusted without detecting noise. Subsequent to reducing the threshold, if no evoked response signal is detected for a test pulse applied at or above a predetermined maximum desirable pulse energy, an operational pacing pulse energy is set to greater than or equal to the maximum desirable in conjunction with a reduction in pacing rate.
