    • A implantable cardiac pacemaker system which is battery powered, having an improved capability for monitoring patient threshold and adjusting pace pulse output to an optimized safety factor above patient threshold, thereby avoiding excessive energy expenditure in delivery of pace pulses and maximizing pacemaker lifetime. The improved threshold tracking system analyzes information from detected heart signals and correlates changes in such heart signal information to pulse output energy, enabling a determination of when the pulse output energy is near threshold without dropping below threshold. In a preferred embodiment, changes in the QT interval are monitored and correlated with changes in output pulse energy, enabling the pacemaker to obtain a measure of patient threshold without dropping pulse energy below threshold and suffering loss of capture.

    • There is provided an endocardial pacing lead having a substantially cylindrical length and an electrode at about the distal end thereof, the lead having a conductor for conducting signals between the proximal and distal ends thereof and an outer tubing enclosing the conductor for substantially the length of the lead. A tined piece is provided which envelopes the lead tubing just proximal to the distal electrode, the tined piece having a plurality of tines, each such tine being formed with a substantially C-shaped cross-section having its inner or backward surface substantially complementary to the outer surface of the tubing. The tined piece also preferably provides riser elements interspaced between respective pairs of the tines for providing a raised lead surface adjacent the tine interangles, thereby increasing the effective tined inter-radius presented to heart wall structures.

    • There is provided a pacemaker lead for use in a dual chamber pacemaker system, wherein the single lead provides for ventricular pacing and atrial sensing. The lead has at least two floating bipoles positioned for placement in the atrium. A first whole-ring bipole is positioned a distance from the distal end so as to be positioned in the lower atrium of an average patient when the distal end is in position for ventricular pacing, and a second split-ring bipole is placed on the lead proximal from the first bipole so as to be positioned in the upper atrium of the normal patient. The method thus comprises positioning a floating whole-ring bipole in the lower atrium, and/or positioning a floating split-ring bipole in the upper atrium. The pair of bipoles so placed provide for atrial sensing with a high degree of ventricular far-field rejection, enabling VDD pacing and also monitoring of P-wave direction and conduction duration.

    • A dual chamber pacemaker is provided with the capability of determining when there is retrograde conduction, and responding by switching into an asynchronous mode of ventricular pacing. The pacemaker's response to RC further includes delivering at least a first asynchronous ventricular pace pulse at a ventricular escape interval calculated to occur at an appropriate AV delay following the next expected spontaneous natural beat. Thus, the ventricular escape interval can be calculated as V.sub.esc =VA+AA.sub.avg +AV.sub.min, where VA is the retrograde time from the prior ventricular pulse to the retrograde atrial sense (or PAC), AA.sub.avg is a measure of the average natural atrial rate before retrograde conduction, and AV.sub.min is a predetermined value of AV delay. This optimum value of V.sub.esc is designed to regain synchronous tracking of the natural sinus after the first extended ventricular pulse. Alternatively, the response can aim to regain tracking in N cycles, where V.sub.esc =AA.sub.avg +.DELTA., where .DELTA.=(AV.sub.min +VA)/N.
    • 双室心脏起搏器具有确定何时出现逆行传导的能力,并且通过切换到心室起搏的异步模式进行响应。 起搏器对RC的反应进一步包括在心室逃逸间隔上至少提供第一个异步心室起搏脉冲,计算出在下一个预期自发自发搏动之后,以适当的AV延迟发生。 因此,心室逃逸间隔可以计算为Vesc = VA + AAavg + AVmin,其中VA是从先前的心室脉搏到逆行心房征(或PAC)的逆行时间,AAavg是之前平均天然心房率的量度 逆行导通,AVmin是AV延迟的预定值。 Vesc的最佳值被设计为在第一个延长的心室脉搏之后恢复自然窦的同步跟踪。 或者,响应可以瞄准在N个周期中重新获得跟踪,其中Vesc = AAavg + DELTA,其中DELTA =(AVmin + VA)/ N。

    • There is disclosed a pacemaker, a dual chamber VDD(R) or DDD(R) pacemaker, having improved features for avoiding undesired sensor-sinus competition and providing blended sensor and sinus (atrial) control. The pacemaker employs atrial hysteresis which is used during sensing of natural atrial beats in order to enable tracking the sinus signals that occur at rates below the current pacing limit; and sensor hysteresis which prevents early takeover by sensor control and, in a DDDR pacer, controls when the sensor rate controls over a sensed sinus rate and also enables dropping the pacing rate during sensor control so as to enable finding and tracking of underlying lower rate sinus signals. The sensor hysteresis function is automatically adapted by obtaining and processing scattergram data representative of the sensor rate compared to the average of the natural sinus rate, and adjusting the sensor hysteresis function to optimally match the data. The atrial hysteresis function is also automatically adjusted as a function of rate by obtaining and processing scattergram data representative of sinus jitter, i.e., the difference between the current rate of the last atrial interval and the average sinus rate. In addition, blending of sensor and sinus control is achieved by automatic adjustment of the rate response curve based on accumulated data representative of RR signals as a function of running atrial rate.

    • A pacemaker system and method are provided with an improved way of detecting the presence of noise, and particularly intermittent noise. When a first signal is sensed by the pacemaker sense circuit, the pacemaker schedules and starts to time out a next escape interval while continuing to time out the escape interval which was previously set. The pacemaker sets up a predetermined noise interval and continues to monitor senses, for the purpose of determining whether the first sense is to be treated as a true cardiac signal, or as noise. In the preferred embodiment, if a second sense occurs within the noise interval, and before time out of a minimum pacing interval, the first sense is determined to be noise, and the pacemaker continues to time out the initial escape interval; however, if no additional sense occurs during the noise interval, the pacemaker proceeds to time out the previously set next escape interval. In the case of a second sense within the noise interval but after time out of the minimum pacing interval, the second sense triggers a safety pace, to protect from continuous inhibition by pulsed noise.
    • 提供了一种起搏器系统和方法,其具有检测噪声的存在,特别是间歇性噪声的改进方法。 当由起搏器感测电路感测到第一信号时,起搏器调度并开始延长下一个逃逸间隔,同时继续超出先前设置的逃逸间隔。 起搏器建立预定的噪声间隔,并继续监测感觉,以确定第一感觉是否被视为真正的心脏信号,或作为噪声。 在优选实施例中,如果在噪声间隔内并且在最小起搏间隔之前的时间之前发生第二感测,则将第一感测确定为噪声,并且起搏器继续超出初始逃逸间隔; 然而,如果在噪声间隔期间没有发生额外的感觉,则起搏器继续超时以前设定的下一个逃逸间隔。 在噪声间隔内的第二感觉的情况下,但是在最小起搏间隔之后的时间之后,第二感测触发安全步速,以防止脉冲噪声的连续抑制。
