Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for analyzing electrocardiogram (ECG) data of a patient using a substantial amount of ECG data. The systems receive ECG data from a sensing device positioned on a patient such as one or more ECG leads. The system may include an application that communicates with an ECG platform running on a server(s) that processes and analyzes the ECG data, e.g., using neural networks for delineation of the cardiac signal and classification of various abnormalities, conditions and/or descriptors. The ECG platform may further process and analyze the ECG data using neural networks and/or algorithms for embedding and grouping. The processed ECG data is used to generate a graphic user interface that is communicated from the server(s) to a computer for display in a user-friendly and interactive manner with enhanced accuracy.
Abstract:
A system for assessing cardiovascular risk of patients in an emergency department is provided. The system includes a patient carrier comprising a transparent structure, one or more optical or radar sensors configured to measure respiration information of the patient via light or radio waves traveling through at least a portion of the transparent structure of the patient carrier, one or more additional sensors configured to measure cardiac information of the patient, and a computer system comprising one or more physical processors that are programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed cause the computer system to: determine a cardiovascular risk parameter for the patient from cardiac information and respiration information of the patient obtained from the one or more sensors. The cardiovascular risk parameter for the patient indicates that the patient requires medical intervention within a specified time period.
Abstract:
VfA cardiac therapy uses an implantable medical device or system. The implantable medical device includes a tissue-piercing electrode implanted in the basal and/or septal region of the left ventricular myocardium of the patient's heart from the triangle of Koch region of the right atrium through the right atrial endocardium and central fibrous body. The device may include a right atrial electrode, a right atrial motion detector, or both. The device may be implanted completely within the patient's heart or may use one or more leads to implant electrodes in the patient's heart. The device may be used to provide cardiac therapy, including single or multiple chamber pacing, atrioventricular synchronous pacing, asynchronous pacing, triggered pacing, cardiac resynchronization pacing, or tachycardia-related therapy. A separate medical device may be used to provide some functionality for cardiac therapy, such as sensing, pacing, or shock therapy.
Abstract:
Method and device for calculating an indicator indicative of stress and device for on-line detecting stress using individual heart beat ECG features of data acquired from a subject, comprising: obtaining a data sample of each heart beat individually from the acquired data; calculating the fiducial features from each said data sample; classifying each data sample as indicative of stressed or not-stressed, using a pretrained classifier which was previously trained using the same fiducial heart beat features from previously acquired reference data samples from individual heart beats, determining an indication of stress as detected when at least one data sample is classified as stressed. Stress can be determined as detected when one data sample is classified as stressed over a time duration of: only one heart beat and the RR distance between said one heart beat and the previous heart beat.
Abstract:
The exemplary systems and methods may be configured to generate a dispersion signal from a plurality of cardiac signals and determine a QRS onset time value and a QRS offset time value from the plurality of cardiac signals. The QRS onset and offset time values may be used to measure, or capture, activation times.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for combining multiple signals from multiple sensing vectors for use in wearable or implantable cardiac devices. A preferred sensing configuration may be selected at a given point in time, for example under clinical conditions. Signal quality for the preferred sensing configuration is then monitored, and if the signal quality degrades under selected conditions, re-analysis may be performed to select a different sensing vector configuration for at least temporary use. If signal quality increases for the preferred sensing configuration, temporary use of the different sensing vector configuration may cease and reversion to the preferred sensing configuration takes place if certain conditions are met. The conditions for reversion may depend in part of a history of sensing signal quality for the preferred sensing configuration.
Abstract:
Bei einem Verfahren und einer Vorrichtung zur Quantifizierung einer respiratorischen Sinusarrhythmie wird zunächst eine Herzfrequenzkurve gemessen und anschließend der zeitliche Abstand zweiter Herzschläge bestimmt und durch eine Analyse in der Phasen-Domain quantifiziert. Eine aussagekräftigere Quantifizierung erhält man, wenn bei der Quantifizierung geeignete Koeffizienten genutzt bzw. die Herzfrequenzkurve interpoliert und/oder detrendiert werden.

Abstract:
A hemodynamic parameter (Hdp) monitoring system for diagnosing a health condition of a patient and for establishing Hdp marker values or Hdp surrogate marker values for purposes of comparison with Hdp values of a patient is provided. An Hdp monitor senses, measures, and records Hdp values exhibited by the patient during a basal or non-exposure period and furthermore Hdp values exhibited by the patient during or after an exposure period during which the patient is exposed to low-energy electromagnetic output signals. An electrically-powered generator is adapted to be actuated to generate said low-energy electromagnetic carrier output signals for exposing or applying to the patient such output signals during said exposure period.
