    • An RF protection circuit mitigates potentially adverse effects that may otherwise result from electromagnetic interference (e.g., due to MRI scanning of a patient having an implanted medical device). The RF protection circuit may comprise a voltage divider that is deployed across a pair of cardiac electrodes that are coupled to internal circuitry of the implantable medical device. Each leg of the voltage divider may be referenced to a ground of the internal circuit, whereby the different legs are deployed in parallel across different circuits of the internal circuitry. In this way, when an EMI-induced (e.g., MRI-induced) signal appears across the cardiac electrodes, the voltages appearing across these circuits and the currents flowing through these circuits may be reduced. The RF protection circuit may be used in an implantable medical device that employs a relatively low capacitance feedthrough to reduce EMI-induced (e.g., MRI-induced) current flow in a cardiac lead.
    • RF保护电路减轻了可能由电磁干扰引起的潜在不利影响(例如,由于具有植入的医疗装置的患者的MRI扫描)。 RF保护电路可以包括分压器,其分布在耦合到可植入医疗装置的内部电路的一对心脏电极上。 分压器的每个支路可以参考内部电路的接地,由此不同的支路并联地布置在内部电路的不同电路上。 以这种方式,当在心电极上出现EMI诱发(例如,MRI诱发的)信​​号时,可以减少跨越这些电路的电压和流过这些电路的电流。 RF保护电路可以用在可植入医疗装置中,其采用相对低电容的馈通以减少心脏导联中的EMI诱发(例如,MRI诱发的)电流。

    • An implantable cardiac stimulating device employs different post-ventricular atrial refractory periods for different types of ventricular events, such as a sensed ventricular event and a paced ventricular event. A controller facilitates selection or adjustment by remote programming of two different post-ventricular atrial blanking intervals that are invoked depending upon the type of ventricular event. A set of discrete blanking interval values may be available for programming the different blanking intervals, and a search routine may be executed to systematically apply the different blanking interval values and determine a suitable value by determining whether far-field R-waves are detected after expiration of each applied blanking interval value.

    • Pattern classification techniques are provided for use with an implantable medical device for detecting cardiac ischemia substantially in real-time. Values representative of morphological features of electrical cardiac signals are detected by the implantable medical device. Then, a determination is made as to whether the patient is subject to an on-going episode of cardiac ischemia by applying the values to a pattern classifier configured to identify patterns representative of cardiac ischemia. In one example, the determination is made substantially in real-time by the device itself based on the IEGM signals it detects. In other examples, the IEGM signals are relayed promptly to a bedside monitor or other external device, which analyzes the signals using the pattern classifier to detect ischemia. Therapy may be applied in response to cardiac ischemia. For example, if the implanted device is equipped with a drug pump, appropriate medications may be administered such as anti-thrombolytics.

    • A technique is provided for filtering far-field electrical cardiac signals from near-field signals. Atrial tip and ring signals are sensed using unipolar electrodes and any timing differences between corresponding events within the signals are detected. Then, far-field signals are filtered from the tip and ring signals based on the detected timing differences, such that substantially only near-field atrial signals remain. The technique exploits the fact that near-field atrial signals are sensed when a conduction wave passes by the atrial electrodes. In contrast, far-field signals from the ventricles propagate to the atrium at near the speed of light. Hence, any significant timing difference between corresponding events appearing in the atrial signals is indicative of a near-field event, whereas the lack of a significant timing difference is indicative of a far-field event. In one example, a sense amplifier is provided with a Boolean logic circuit to aid in time delay-based filtering.
    • 提供了用于从近场信号过滤远场电心脏信号的技术。 使用单极电极感测心尖和环形信号,并检测信号内相应事件之间的任何定时差异。 然后,基于检测到的定时差,从尖端和环形信号过滤远场信号,使得基本上只有近场心房信号保留。 该技术利用了当导电波通过心房电极时感测近场心房信号的事实。 相比之下,来自心室的远场信号在光速附近传播到心房。 因此,出现在心房信号中的相应事件之间的任何显着的定时差异表示近场事件,而缺乏有效定时差异是指示远场事件。 在一个示例中,读出放大器设置有布尔逻辑电路以辅助基于时间延迟的滤波。

    • Techniques are provided for controlling ventricular pacing during an episode of atrial fibrillation (AF) for use by a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or other implantable medical device. In one example, upon detection of AF, the underlying intrinsic ventricular rate of the patient is determined prior to delivering any ventricular pacing. Then, a ventricular pacing procedure—such as dynamic ventricular overdrive (DVO) pacing—is activated to reduce ventricular rate variability to mitigate the adverse effects of AF. The ventricular pacing procedure employed during AF is controlled based on a maximum ventricular rate set relative to the underlying intrinsic ventricular rate so as to keep an overall ventricular rate below the maximum rate.
    • 提供技术用于在心房颤动(AF)发作期间控制心室起搏,以供起搏器,可植入式心律转复除颤器(ICD)或其他可植入医疗装置使用。 在一个实例中,在检测到AF后,在递送任何心室起搏之前确定患者的潜在内在心室率。 然后,启动心室起搏手术,例如动态心室超速(DVO)起搏 - 以减少心室率变异性,以减轻AF的不良反应。 在AF期间使用的心室起搏过程基于相对于潜在的内部心室率设定的最大心室率进行控制,以保持总体心率低于最大速率。
