摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting and treating sleep respiratory events that includes a plurality of sensors gathering physiological data related to sleep respiratory events. A processor extracts an average cycle length and a frequency of at least one of Cheyne-Stokes respiration and periodic breathing based upon the physiological data, and determines whether therapy is required based on the average cycle length and the frequency.

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： A method and an apparatus for performing implementing external data into an implantable medical device. A first stress test is performed using an external sensor. External data resulting from the initial stress test is acquired. An external data injection process is performed. The external data injection process includes providing the external data to the implantable medical device. A second stress test is performed, the second stress test being substantially similar to the first stress test. Internal data resulting from the second stress test is acquired. Internal data resulting from the second stress test along with the external data resulting from the first stress test, are processed.

摘要： A method and an apparatus for performing rate responsive control in an implantable medical device using a scaling factor. Sensor data is acquired using a sensor operatively coupled with the implantable medical device. At least one setpoint for controlling a rate of therapy is generated, the setpoint being based upon the sensor data. A scaling factor adjustment process is performed for scaling the internal sensor data to correlate the sensor data to the setpoint. The rate of therapy is adjusted based upon the scaling factor adjustment.

摘要： An implantable medical device system is described including an implantable medical device for implantation in a patient. One embodiment of the implantable medical device includes a therapy component for providing a therapy to the patient, a minute ventilation (MV) sensing circuit producing MV values indicative of a MV of the patient at time intervals, and computational circuitry. The computational circuitry receives a number of the MV values over a period of time, calculates a statistical parameter (e.g., a mean) of the MV values, and calculates a deviation of the MV values from the statistical parameter (e.g., a standard deviation of the MV values). The computational circuitry detects an onset of sleep in the patient when the deviation of the MV values from the statistical parameter is less than a predetermined MV threshold value, and signals the therapy component to modify the therapy when the onset of sleep is detected in the patient. A method is disclosed for providing therapy to a patient, including detecting an onset of sleep in the patient, and modifying the therapy following the detecting the onset of sleep in the patient.

摘要： An implantable anti-tachyarrhythmia device which delivers atrial cardioversion or defibrillation pulses heart in response to detection of atrial tachyarrhythmias. The pulses are synchronized to atrial and ventricular events in such a fashion as to assure they occur outside of the vulnerable periods associated with both chambers. The device is provided with a pulse synchronizer which defines a first synchronization interval initiated following a sensed atrial event and a second synchronization interval initiated responsive to a sensed ventricular event and a pulse triggerer which triggers delivery of a cardioversion or defibrillation pulse responsive to the first and second synchronization intervals simultaneously being underway. In particular, the pulse triggerer may be responsive to initiation of the first synchronization interval during the second synchronization interval. In addition, the synchronizer may also define minimum time intervals following ventricular events and the triggerer may additionally be responsive to expiration of a defined minimum time interval following a ventricular event preceding the sensed ventricular event which initiated the second synchronization interval currently underway.

摘要： In an implantable pacemaker/cardioverter/defibrillator, a system for correlating the delivery of a cardioversion therapy to an optimum point or phase of the respiratory cycle of the patient to effect delivery of the therapy when the impedance between the cardioversion electrodes is minimized. In a first application for use with cardioversion electrodes located substantially in contact with the heart chamber, the optimum point or phase is at the end of inspiration. In a second application for use with at least one cardioversion electrode located remotely from the heart chamber, the optimum point or phase is at end expiration or beginning of inspiration. The cardioversion therapy is delivered in synchrony with a ventricular sense event, if present. If the optimum point or phase of the respiratory cycle cannot be determined during a therapy time, a pre-shock may be delivered to elicit a respiration cycle through a stimulated contraction of the diaphragm.
