    摘要: An implantable medical device receives both heart sound and electrogram signals. A processor within the implantable medical device extracts physiologically relevant information from both the heart sound signal and the electrogram signal. Based on the extracted physiologically relevant information a set of pacing parameters is evaluated. In certain examples, the values of the pacing parameters may be changed by the implantable medical device in response to the physiologically relevant information extracted from the heart sound signal and the electrogram signal.

    摘要: Techniques are described for distinguishing between treatable and non-treatable heart rhythms. A medical device that operates in accordance with the techniques analyzes characteristics over several cardiac event intervals to detect initiation of a sudden rate onset. After detection of the initiation of the sudden rate onset, the IMD analyzes a morphology of an EGM associated with a selected cardiac event within the first several beats after the initiation of sudden rate onset. In one example, the IMD analyzes the morphology of the EGM associated with the first cardiac event immediately subsequent to the initiation of the sudden rate onset. If the morphology of the EGM of the selected cardiac event is abnormal compared to template EGM, the rhythm is classified as treatable. Otherwise, the rhythm is classified as non-treatable.

    摘要: 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.

    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.
