Abstract: A method for detecting the onsets or offsets of heart depolarization or repolarization waves (e.g. QRS-complex or T-wave) includes determining a slope of a cardiac electrogram. A threshold value is determined based on a maximum of the slope of the cardiac electrogram, and a last point of the cardiac electrogram before the slope of the cardiac electrogram crosses the threshold is identified as one of an onset or an offset of a wave. The method may further include receiving an indication of local ventricular motion associated with a cardiac contraction, and determining an electromechanical delay between the identified onset and the local ventricular motion. Some examples include providing the electromechanical delay for configuration of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), e.g. selection of pacing sites.

Abstract: Miniature electrodes and electrochemical cells are disclosed. Such electrodes are made from forming an electrode mixture onto a current collector and distal end of a feedthrough pin such that the current collector and distal end of the feedthrough pin is encapsulated. The methods and electrode assemblies disclosed herein allow such electrode assemblies to be made free from the step of directly attaching a formed electrode to a feedthrough pin and thus simplifying assembly and decreasing size.

Abstract: The present teachings provide methods of preparing an anode for use in a high volumetric energy density electrolytic capacitor. A lead wire is de-oxidized and sintered in a valve metal powder compact to form the anode. The de-oxidizing and sintering are conducted in the presence of a reactive metal having a stronger affinity for oxygen than the valve metal powder. A residual reactive metal and at least one reactive metal reaction product are removed from the anode surface with a leaching process. Remaining residual reactive metal and reactive metal reaction products are redistributed by thermal processing. A capacitor containing the anode has an operating voltage greater than 90% of the forming voltage.

Abstract: An implantable medical device and associated method deliver a therapy to an autonomic nerve. The therapy delivery includes delivering therapeutic low frequency (LF) electrical stimulation pulses to the autonomic nerve and delivering a high frequency electrical signal to the autonomic nerve during the LF frequency stimulation pulse delivery. The high frequency stimulation signal blocks activation of autonomic nerve fibers innervating a non-targeted tissue during the therapeutic LF stimulation pulse delivery.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A system and method are provided for interrogating an implantable medical device (IMD) using a platform-independent interrogation process with an interrogator device, such that the interrogation is initiated by the interrogator device without requiring information relating to the location of where the diagnostic data is stored in the memory of the IMD and without requiring information related to the type or format of the diagnostic data. By utilizing a platform-independent interrogation process, a generic universal interrogation process can be utilized that can be extended across IMDs and interrogator devices capable of having different platforms. Further, the platform-independent interrogation process allows an interrogation device to interrogate different types of IMDs, and also allows IMDs to be interrogated by different types of interrogator devices, thereby allowing IMDs and interrogator devices to be interchangeably used and easily updated without requiring entire interrogation system reconfigurations.
