    摘要: An apparatus for determining a physical condition in a living subject by determining peripheral resistance to flow is wherein peripheral resistance to flow is determined by measuring changes in the pressure drop characteristic in an artery during diastole. The pressure drop characteristic can be determined by measuring absolute pressure, relative pressure or dimensional changes in the artery during diastole. The apparatus can advantageously be used in a rate-responsive heart stimulator.

    摘要: An atrium controlled heart pacemaker has a switching stage which is controlled in dependence upon the appearance of atrial signals. The switching stage switches the heart pacemaker to a VVI mode for a predetermined number of stimulation pulses or natural ventricular events, or a predetermined time, upon the appearance of at least one atrial signal before a selected time limit. The time limit is derived from the difference between a smallest synchronous interval and the AV delay.

    摘要: An atrium-controlled heart pacemaker operates using set parameters including a smallest synchronous interval (SSI) between two stimulation pulses, a minimum atrial-ventricular delay time (AVmin) and a maximum atrial-ventricular delay time (AVmax). A control unit, dependent upon the appearance of an atrial signal, controls operation of the pacemaker such that the pacemaker operates with a variable pulse rate (DDD mode) when the atrial signal appears after a point in time SSI-AVmin, operates the pacemaker with a highest synchronous pulse rate when the atrial signal is between the points in time SSI-AVmin and SSI-AVmax, and causes no stimulation pulses to be emitted when the atrial signal appears before the point in time SSI-AVmax.

    摘要: CRT settings for an implantable medical device are determined by applying pacing pulses to heart chambers of a scheme of different combinations of interchamber delays. A respective width parameter value representing an R or P wave width is determined for each such delay combination based on an ECG representing signal and the width parameter values are employed to estimate a parametric model defining the width parameter as a function of interchamber delays. Candidate interchamber delays that minimize the width parameter are determined from the parametric model and employed to determine optimal CRT settings. The technique provides an efficient way of finding optimal CRT settings when multiple pacing sites are available in a heart chamber.

An impedance signal is determined for each candidate pair or electrode based on the applied signal and the measured resulting signal. A time difference between start of contraction in a second ventricle and the timing of local myocardial contraction as identified from the impedance signal at the site of the candidate pair or electrode is determined for each candidate pair or electrode. An optimal pacing electrode is selected to correspond to one of the electrodes of the candidate pair having the largest time difference or the candidate electrode having largest time difference.

    摘要: In a system and method for monitoring cardiac synchrony in a human heart, a first sensor is positioned at a first cardiac wall location that is subject to movements related to longitudinal valve plane movements along the longitudinal axis of the heart, and measures the cardiac wall movements at the first cardiac wall location and a second sensor is positioned at a second cardiac wall location that is subject to movements related to longitudinal valve plane movements along the longitudinal axis of the heart, and measures the cardiac wall movements at the second cardiac wall location. A lead arrangement conducts respective output signals from the first and second sensors to processing circuitry that processes the first and second sensor output signals to produce a synchronization signal therefrom indicative of synchrony in the respective valve plane movements at the first and second cardiac wall locations.
