    • The invention relates to the use of atrial pacing therapies to treat atrial tachycardia (AT). When an AT episode is detected, an implantable medical device applies an ATP therapy. If the AT episode persists, the ATP therapy may be automatically reapplied at a later time during the course of the same AT episode. In particular, previously used ATP therapies are reapplied when episodic conditions, such as cycle length or cycle regularity, change. Although a particular ATP therapy initially may be unsuccessful in terminating the AT, it may prove successful when the cycle length or regularity of the atrial rhythm changes. As the rhythm slows down, the AT may be more responsive to ATP therapies that were previously unsuccessful. As a result, potentially efficacious ATP therapies can be reapplied to terminate AT episodes, and reduce the number of episodes that require more aggressive termination by painful, atrial shocks.
    • 本发明涉及心房起搏疗法用于治疗房性心动过速(AT)的用途。 当检测到AT发作时,可植入医疗装置应用ATP疗法。 如果AT发作持续存在,ATP疗法可能会在相同的AT发作过程中的较晚时间自动重新应用。 特别是,当诸如循环长度或循环规律性等情况时,先前使用的ATP疗法将被重新应用。 尽管特定的ATP疗法最初可能不能终止AT,但是当心房节律的周期长度或规律性发生变化时,可能会成功。 随着节奏减慢,AT可能对以前不成功的ATP疗法更有反应。 因此,可以重新应用潜在有效的ATP疗法来终止AT发作,并通过痛苦的心房休克减少需要更积极终止的发作次数。

    • A method and apparatus for variable rate cardiac stimulation, wherein sudden drops in the rate of delivery of stimulation pulses are avoided by means of rate smoothing and peak rate support functions. In one embodiment, circuitry in a cardiac pulse generator detects atrial events and maintains an updated value of the A-A time intervals between certain atrial events. If a preset ratio or total of these A-A intervals are found to have been shorter than the updated value by at a least a predetermined amount of time, a rate smoothing function is activated wherein the rate of delivery of stimulating pulses is prevented from changing, from cycle to cycle, by more than a predetermined maximum amount. A peak rate support function preferably employs the same updated value in the computation of "escape" intervals. Following the latest A-A interval, if that A-A interval is less than the updated value, then the updated value is used as the new escape interval. If the latest A-A interval is greater than or equal to the updated value but less than the previous updated value, the current escape interval is used as the new escape interval. If the latest A-A interval is less than both the previous updated value and the current updated value, the value updated is used as the new escape interval, and the pulse generator enters a decay mode wherein the escape interval is gradually and incrementally lengthened to prevent sudden changes in the rate of delivery of stimulation pulses.
    • 用于可变速率心脏刺激的方法和装置,其中通过速率平滑和峰值速率支持功能来避免刺激脉冲的传送速率的突然下降。 在一个实施例中,心脏脉搏发生器中的电路检测心房事件并维持某些心房事件之间的A-A时间间隔的更新值。 如果这些AA间隔的预设比例或总和被发现至少比预定时间量更新的值短,则激活速率平滑功能,其中防止刺激脉冲的传送速率从 循环到循环,超过预定的最大量。 峰值速率支持功能优选地在计算“逃逸”间隔时使用相同的更新值。 按照最新的A-A间隔,如果A-A间隔小于更新的值,则更新的值将用作新的转义间隔。 如果最新的A-A间隔大于或等于更新值但小于先前更新的值,则将使用当前转义间隔作为新的转义间隔。 如果最近的AA间隔小于先前更新值和当前更新值,则更新的值被用作新的转义间隔,并且脉冲发生器进入衰减模式,其中逃逸间隔逐渐且逐渐地延长以防止突然 刺激脉冲传送速率的变化。

    • A system and method for monitoring at least one chamber of a heart (e.g., a left ventricular chamber) during delivery of a refractory period stimulation (RPS) therapy to determine if the desired non-capture (i.e., lack of ventricular mechanical capture due to refractory period stimulation) occurs. The system includes an implantable or external cardiac stimulation device in association with a set of leads such as epicardial, endocardial, and/or coronary sinus leads equipped with motion sensor(s). The device receives and processes acceleration sensor signals to determine a signal characteristic indicative of chamber capture due to pacing stimulus delivery, non-capture due to RPS therapy delivery, and/or contractile status based on the qualities of evoked response to pacing stimulation.
