    • Techniques are described for overdrive pacing the heart using a pacemaker wherein the overdrive pacing rate only increases when at least two intrinsic beats are detected within a determined search period. In one specific technique, an increase in the pacing rate occurs only if two P-waves are detected within X cardiac cycles. In another specific technique, the overdrive pacing rate is increased only if at least two P-waves are detected within a block of N cardiac cycles. In both techniques, the overdrive pacing rate is decreased if no increase has occurred in the last Z cardiac cycles. By increasing the overdrive pacing rate only in response to detection of at least two P-waves within a determined number of cardiac cycles, an excessively high overdrive pacing rate is avoided. Other techniques are described for adaptively adjusting overdrive pacing parameters so as to achieve a determined target degree of pacing of, for example, 95% paced beats. By adaptively adjusting overdrive parameters to maintain a target degree of pacing, the average overdrive pacing rate is minimized while still maintaining a high number of paced beats, thereby reducing the risk of a tachyarrhythmia occurring within the patient.
    • 描述了使用起搏器超速起搏心脏的技术,其中在确定的搜索周期内检测到至少两个固有节拍时,超速起搏速率仅增加。 在一种特定技术中,只有在X个心动周期内检测到两个P波时,起搏速率才会增加。 在另一个具体技术中,只有在N个心动周期的块内检测到至少两个P波时,才能增加超速起搏速率。 在两种技术中,如果在最后Z个心动周期中没有发生增加,则超速起搏速率将降低。 通过仅在确定的心跳周期内响应于至少两个P波的检测来增加超速起搏速率,避免了过高的超速起搏速率。 描述了用于自适应地调节过驱动起搏参数的其它技术,以便实现例如95%起搏节拍的确定的目标起搏程度。 通过自适应地调整过驱动参数以保持目标起搏程度,平均超速起搏速度最小化,同时仍然保持大量的起搏节奏,从而降低患者内出现快速性心律失常的风险。

    • A method and apparatus for reducing the incidence of atrial arrhythmias by using an overdrive algorithm to determine the application of overdrive stimulation pulses to a patient's heart, e.g., in the atria. In a first aspect of the invention, the apparatus first determines an overdrive pacing rate and then applies pairs of temporally spaced (staggered) pacing pulses, i.e., primary and secondary pacing pulses, at the determined overdrive pacing rate. In a further aspect of the invention, the pairs of pacing pulses are applied at the overdrive pacing rate to multiple spatially spaced electrodes, i.e., electrodes distributed among multiple sites in a patient's heart, e.g., in the atria. In accordance with a first preferred embodiment, the electrodes may be distributed within a single atrium, e.g., the right atrium, of the patient's heart. Alternatively, a first electrode may be placed in the right atrium and a second electrode may be placed in the coronary sinus or the left atrium or multiple electrodes may be placed proximate to the left atrium. Furthermore, the invention relates to techniques for controlling overdrive pacing to multiple sites in a patient's heart so as to achieve and maintain a target degree of pacing and thus suppress tachycardias.
    • 一种用于通过使用过驱动算法来确定过度驱动刺激脉冲施加到患者心脏(例如在心房)中来减少心房心律失常发生率的方法和装置。 在本发明的第一方面中,装置首先确定过驱动起搏速率,然后以确定的超速起搏速率施加时间间隔(交错)的起搏脉冲,即初级和次级起搏脉冲。 在本发明的另一方面,以超速起搏速率将多对起搏脉冲施加到多个空间间隔开的电极,即分布在患者心脏中的多个部位之间的电极,例如在心房中。 根据第一优选实施例,电极可以分布在患者心脏的单个心房(例如右心房)内。 或者,第一电极可以放置在右心房中,并且第二电极可以放置在冠状窦或左心房中,或者多个电极可以放置在靠近左心房的位置。 此外,本发明涉及用于控制对患者心脏中的多个部位的超速起搏的技术,以便实现和维持目标起搏程度,从而抑制心动过速。

    • Techniques are provided for detecting natural electrical coherence within the heart and for administering or adjusting therapy based upon whether natural electrical coherence is detected. In one example, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), upon detecting atrial fibrillation, delays administering an atrial defibrillation pulse until a period of natural electrical coherence is detected between the left and the right atria of the heart. The ICD may further delay the pulse until the ventricles of the heart are refractory so as to help prevent triggering ventricular fibrillation. The pulses are administered at a time selected based upon the period of electrical coherence to reduce the amount of electrical energy required within the pulse to reliably defibrillate the heart. Other types of therapy besides defibrillation therapy such as anti-tachycardia pacing pulses may also be timed based upon detection periods of natural electrical coherence. Method and apparatus embodiments are described.

    • An implantable cardiac stimulation device and associated method perform an automatic calibration procedure for evaluating whether automatic capture verification can be recommended. The calibration procedure calculates and displays a number of variables for use by a medical practitioner in programming automatic capture operating parameters. An average paced depolarization integral (PDI) is determined from the cardiac signals following delivery of multiple stimulation pulse below and above capture threshold such that both pure lead polarization signals and evoked response signals may be analyzed. From the paced depolarization integral data, a capture threshold, a stimulation response curve, a minimum evoked response, a maximum lead polarization, an evoked response sensitivity, an evoked response safety margin, and a polarization safety margin are determined. Based on these variables, the calibration procedure determines if automatic capture verification can be recommended. If so, the stimulation device calculates a capture detection threshold. The automatic capture verification recommendation and the estimated calibration variables are displayed.
