An implantable medical device and associated method sense cardiac signals for deriving a template representing a known EGM waveform morphology and for classifying an unknown waveform morphology. A boundary of the template, offset from the template, is computed and compared to an unknown waveform morphology for classifying the unknown waveform morphology.

A method and device for detecting a cardiac event that includes sensing cardiac electrical signals representative of electrical activity of a heart of a patient, detecting the cardiac event in response to the sensed cardiac signals, determining an indication of signal reliability corresponding to the sensed cardiac signals as being one of a reliable signal and a not reliable signal, and switching operation of the device between a first mode of determining whether the sensed signal is one of treatable and not treatable and a second mode of determining whether the sensed signal is one of treatable and not treatable in response to the determined indication of signal reliability.

Techniques for reducing inappropriate tachyarrhythmia therapy and associated medical device systems are described. In some examples a processor is enabled to receive a cardiac electrical signal representative of electrical activity of a heart of a patient and provide an indication of cardiac electrical signal reliability. A heart sound analyzing module is enabled to receive the indication of cardiac electrical signal reliability and a heart sound signal representing sounds generated by the heart of the patient and generated by a heart sound sensor. The heart sound analyzing module selectively determines an ensemble averaged heart sound signal or detects a plurality of heart sounds from the heart sound signal in response to the indication of cardiac electrical signal reliability.

A method and system of detecting phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient that includes detecting an activation event, obtaining a heart sound signal of a patient from an implanted heart sound sensor, determining that an electrical stimulation has been applied to the patient, in response to detecting the activation event, monitoring a portion of the heart sound signal, the portion defined by a predetermined window after the application of the electrical stimulation, and determining whether phrenic nerve stimulation occurred based on the portion of the heart sound signal.

A medical device and associated method for discriminating cardiac events sense cardiac signals that includes determining whether a first match score is within one of a first match zone corresponding to a first cardiac event, and a second match zone corresponding to the first cardiac event, and determining whether a second match score is within one of the first match zone, the second match zone, and a third match zone corresponding to a second cardiac event different from the first cardiac event. One of increasing and decreasing an event counter is performed in response to both the determination of whether the first match score is within one of the first match zone and the second match zone and the determination of whether the second match score is within one of the first match zone, the second match zone, and the third match zone.
摘要:
Techniques are described for detecting a condition of a patient using a probability-correlation based model that integrates a plurality of parameters associated with the condition. A medical device that operates in accordance with the techniques obtains a plurality of parameters associated with the condition of the patient. The medical device obtains probabilities that the condition of the patient exists based on each single parameter separately and correlations between each of the parameters and the other ones of the parameters. After obtaining the probabilities and correlations associated with each of the parameters, the medical device determines whether the condition of the patient exists based on the determined probabilities and correlations. Such techniques may be particularly effective for use in distinguishing whether a rhythm of a patient is treatable, e.g., VT or VF, or non-treatable, e.g., SVT.
摘要:
A medical device and associated method for monitoring a patient's heart rhythm sense cardiac events and detect a sudden change in the heart rhythm in response to the sensed cardiac events. Detecting the sudden change includes determining a variability of intervals between the sensed cardiac events and switching between a low variability mode of operation and a high variability mode of operation in response to the variability of intervals. During the low variability mode, detecting the sudden change includes detecting an increase in the rate of cardiac events. During the high variability mode, detecting the sudden change includes detecting a sudden decrease in the variability of the cardiac event intervals. A concerning cardiac rhythm is detected in response to detecting the sudden change.

A medical device system and associated method predict a patient response to a cardiac therapy. The system includes for delivering cardiac pacing pulses to a patient's heart coupled to a cardiac sensing module and a cardiac pacing module for generating cardiac pacing pulses and controlling delivery of the pacing pulses at multiple pace parameter settings. An acoustical sensor obtains heart sound signals. A processor is enabled to receive the heart sound signals, derive a plurality of heart sound signal parameters from the heart sound signals, and determine a trend of each of the plurality of heart sound signal parameters with respect to the plurality of pace parameter settings. An external display is configured to present the trend of at least one heart sound parameter with respect to the plurality of pace parameter settings.
