    摘要: A system and method for monitoring respiration including sensing a signal that varies with respiration, deriving a respiration parameter, applying criteria for detecting a respiration disturbance and determining one or more respiratory disturbance metrics. The system preferably includes an implantable sensor with an associated implantable medical device such that chronic respiration monitoring is possible. The implantable medical device may execute methods for detecting and measuring respiratory disturbances or may store data to be transferred to an external device for detecting and measuring respiratory disturbances. Respiratory disturbance detection may trigger a responsive action such as physiological data storage, a change in therapy delivery, or a clinician warning. Assessment of cardiac function may be made based on metrics of respiratory disturbances or a measure of circulatory delay time following detection of a respiratory disturbance.

    摘要: An implantable medical device delivers augmentation therapy to intervene in a pattern of sleep-disordered breathing. Augmentation therapy includes the delivery of electrical stimulation to cardiac tissue above and/or below a capture threshold. PESP and NES/CCM are possible augmentation therapies that are used alone or in combination. In addition, augmentation therapies can be used with other pacing therapies such as atrial overdrive pacing and atrial coordinated pacing as a therapy for sleep-disordered breathing.

    摘要: The invention relates generally to a system and method for monitoring and automatically delivering a therapy for sleep-related disordered breathing. In one form the present invention relates to an external device for monitoring for sleep-related disordered breathing in communication with an implantable medical device for delivering an electrical stimulation therapy. In another form the present invention relates to an implantable medical device for detecting sleep-related disordered breathing episode(s) and an external apparatus (e.g., a CPAP machine) for providing therapy to terminate, and/or reduce, said episode(s). In this form of the invention, the implantable medical device communicates with the external apparatus so that the therapy provided corresponds in magnitude and duration to the severity and/or length of the episode(s). In yet another form, an implantable apparatus detects said disordered breathing episode(s) and a hybrid therapy is provided by both the implantable apparatus and an external apparatus.
