    • A system and method for determining a patient's degree of cardiac vascular blockage or, equivalently, a patient's risk of cardiac ischemia, based on the time interval between the onset of exercise activity and the onset of an episode of cardiac ischemia. In one embodiment, an implantable cardiac device may obtain an EGM and possibly other measures of patient physiologic activity. These measures are used to determine when the patient has initiated exercise activity. Analysis of the EGM then detects an elevated or depressed ST segment, which typically indicates an episode of cardiac ischemia. The time interval between the onset of exercise and the onset of ischemia is a metric reflecting the patient's degree of vascular blockage or, equivalently, the patient's risk of ischemia. Other metrics may be derived, such as a substantially workload-level invariant measure determined as the product of the exercise workload level and the ischemia onset time interval.
    • 基于运动活动开始与心脏缺血发作之间的时间间隔来确定患者的心脏血管阻塞程度或相当于患者的心脏缺血风险的系统和方法。 在一个实施例中,可植入心脏装置可以获得EGM以及可能的其他患者生理活动的测量。 这些措施用于确定患者何时开始运动。 然后,分析EGM然后检测到升高或降低的ST段,其通常表示心脏缺血发作。 运动发作与缺血发作之间的时间间隔是反映患者血管阻塞程度或相当于患者局部缺血风险的指标。 可以导出其他度量,诸如确定为运动工作负载水平和缺血起始时间间隔的乘积的基本工作负荷水平不变量度量。

    • Techniques are provided for use in controlling rate-adaptive pacing within implantable medical devices such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). In one example, a force-frequency relationship is determined for the heart of the patient, which is representative of the relationship between cardiac stimulation frequency and myocardial contractile force. To this end, various parameters are detected for use as surrogates for contractile force, including selected systolic pressure parameters and cardiogenic impedance parameters. Rate-adaptive pacing is then controlled based on the detected force-frequency relationship to, for example, deactivate rate-adaptive pacing if the slope and/or abscissa of the force-frequency relationship indicates significant contractility dysfunction within the patient. In other examples, rather than deactivating rate-adaptive pacing, control parameters are adjusted to render the rate-adaptive pacing less aggressive. In still other examples, trends in the slope and/or abscissa of the force-frequency relationship are monitored to detect contractility dysfunction and/or heart failure and titrate medications accordingly.
    • 提供技术用于控制可植入医疗装置(例如起搏器或植入式心律转复除颤器(ICD))内的速率自适应起搏。 在一个示例中,为患者的心脏确定力 - 频率关系,其代表心脏刺激频率与心肌收缩力之间的关系。 为此,检测各种参数以用作收缩力的替代物,包括选择的收缩压参数和心源阻抗参数。 然后,如果力 - 频率关系的斜率和/或横坐标表示患者内的显着的收缩功能障碍,则基于检测到的力 - 频率关系来控制速率自适应起搏,例如,去激活速率自适应起搏。 在其他示例中,不是去激活速率自适应起搏,而是调节控制参数以使速率自适应起搏较不具有侵略性。 在另一些实例中,监测力 - 频率关系的斜率和/或横坐标的趋势以检测收缩功能障碍和/或心力衰竭并相应地滴定药物。

    • Techniques are provided for detecting pulmonary edema based on a comparison of impedance-based respiratory patterns and impedance-based cardiac patterns, i.e. patterns derived from thoracic impedance signals. In one example, a numerical ratio is calculated between average peak-to-peak amplitudes of the respiratory patterns and average peak-to-peak amplitudes of the cardiac patterns. Pulmonary edema is detected if the amplitude ratio falls below a pulmonary edema detection threshold. Techniques are also provided for controlling operation of an impedance-based reduced respiration detector, i.e. a detector which seeks to detect apnea, hypopnea, or the like, based on analysis of respiratory patterns derived from a thoracic impedance signal. If the numerical ratio falls below a minimum reliability threshold, then the reduced respiration detector is deactivated because episodes of reduced respiration cannot then reliably be derived from an analysis of respiration patterns obtained from the thoracic impedance signals.
    • 提供了基于基于阻抗的呼吸模式和基于阻抗的心脏模式(即从胸部阻抗信号导出的模式)的比较来检测肺水肿的技术。 在一个示例中,在呼吸模式的平均峰 - 峰幅度和心脏图案的平均峰 - 峰幅度之间计算数值比。 如果振幅比低于肺水肿检测阈值,则检测肺水肿。 还提供了用于控制基于阻抗的减少的呼吸检测器的操作的技术,即基于从胸部阻抗信号导出的呼吸模式的分析来寻求检测呼吸暂停,呼吸不足等的检测器。 如果数值比低于最小可靠性阈值,则减少的呼吸检测器被停用,因为不能随后从对胸部阻抗信号获得的呼吸模式的分析中可靠地导出减少呼吸的发作。

    • Techniques are provided for measuring ventricular evoked response within the heart of a patient during atrial fibrillation. An intrinsic ventricular depolarization (i.e. a QRS complex) is sensed within the right ventricle and then a pacing pulse is applied to the left ventricle prior to intrinsic depolarization thereof. In this manner, the left ventricle contracts solely in response to the pacing pulse and possible fusion between the pacing pulse and a conducted P-wave/A-pulse from the atria is avoided. The evoked response generated in the left ventricle is then measured by the pacemaker. The technique permits reliable detection of left ventricular evoked response, even during atrial fibrillation when atrial contractions are frequent and erratic, but the technique may also be employed during normal sinus rhythm. Features of the evoked response are analyzed to detect heart failure, evaluate its severity and track its progression. Appropriate therapy is then automatically delivered to the patient.
    • 提供了用于在心房颤动期间测量患者心脏内心室诱发反应的技术。 在右心室内检测到内部心室去极化(即QRS复合物),然后在其内部去极化之前将起搏脉冲施加到左心室。 以这种方式,左心室仅响应于起搏脉冲而收缩,并避免起搏脉冲与从心房传导的P波/ A脉冲之间的融合。 然后由起搏器测量在左心室产生的诱发反应。 该技术允许可靠地检测左心室诱发反应,即使在心房收缩频繁且不稳定的心房颤动期间,该技术也可在正常窦性心律中使用。 分析诱发反应的特征以检测心力衰竭,评估其严重程度并跟踪其进展。 然后将适当的治疗自动递送给患者。

    • Techniques are provided for controlling therapy delivered in response to Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) or other forms of periodic breathing in an effort to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary therapy directed toward preventing sleep interruption. Following each burst of respiration during CSR, a prediction is made as to whether the amount of respiration achieved during the burst will be sufficient to sustain the patient through a period of apnea until the next respiration burst. If not, aggressive therapy, such as aggressive diaphragmatic pacing, is delivered to improve respiration and prevent the imminent sleep interruption. If, however, the amount of respiration achieved during the burst appears to be sufficient to sustain the patient until the next respiration burst, then relatively mild therapy is instead delivered. Preferably, the prediction is made by comparing respiration achieved during a CSR respiration burst against the minimal respiration demands of the patient, evaluated based on respiration occurring shortly after the onset of sleep.
    • 提供技术用于控制响应于Cheyne-Stokes呼吸(CSR)或其他形式的周期性呼吸而递送的治疗,以减少针对预防睡眠中断的不必要的治疗的可能性。 在CSR期间的每次呼吸爆发之后,预测在爆发期间实现的呼吸量是否足以在一段呼吸暂停直到下一次呼吸爆发之前维持患者。 如果没有,积极的治疗,如积极的膈肌起搏,以提高呼吸,并防止即将到来的睡眠中断。 然而,如果在爆发期间实现的呼吸量似乎足以维持患者直到下一次呼吸爆发,那么相反地进行相对温和的治疗。 优选地,通过将​​在CSR呼吸爆发期间实现的呼吸与基于睡眠开始后不久发生的呼吸评估的患者的最小呼吸需求进行比较来进行预测。

    • In one implementation, a method is provided for detecting heart failure which includes retrieving a three-dimensional posture template corresponding to a normal evoked response. The method further includes capturing an intracardiac electrogram of an evoked response and detecting a three-dimensional posture corresponding with the intracardiac electrogram. The detected three-dimensional posture and the three-dimensional posture template are compared. The captured intracardiac electrogram is used for heart failure trend analysis if the comparison of the detected three-dimensional posture and the three-dimensional posture template indicates a same posture.
