    摘要: Implementing a subcutaneous medical electrode system involves positioning a number of electrode subsystems in relation to a heart so that noise cancellation provides an improved signal to noise ratio of the cardiac signal and/or to provide one electrode arrangement preferential for cardiac signals and another arrangement preferential for noise signals. One of the electrode subsystems so positioned may include one or more can electrodes located on a housing enclosing a medical device. The medical device may be configured to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, or monitoring functions, including, for example, cardiac arrhythmia therapy.

    摘要: Methods and devices of cardiac electrode placement involve locating electrodes on a thorax of a patient. Surface pacing levels are determined relative to a pacing limit. Surface electrode locations are selected or rejected based on the level being within a limit. Electrodes may be relocated to new locations, and new surface pacing levels determined, until a new surface pacing level falls within the pacing limit. Selecting or rejecting electrode locations involves selecting locations suitable for implantation of subcutaneous cardiac electrodes and implanting at the selected locations. An automated method uses an array of surface electrode elements that are scanned for their associated pacing levels, such as by selecting one or more electrode element locations having the lowest pacing levels, which may correspond to locations suitable for implantation of a subcutaneous cardiac electrode and housing, a subcutaneous electrode array, a unitary subcutaneous defibrillation system, or other suitable implantable cardiac device.

    摘要: Systems and methods of verifying that implantable cardiac devices operate as intended in a particular patient involve one or more of determining proper placement of system components, determining stimulus levels useful for individual patient stratification, and determining stimulus levels that indicate efficacy of devices, implantable within a given patient. A pacing stimulus set at a surface pacing level is delivered to a patient's heart using surface electrodes. The patient is determined to not be a candidate for implantation of a subcutaneous defibrillation system if the surface pacing level needed to capture the heart exceeds a predetermined level. The patient may be determined to be a candidate for implantation of a subcutaneous system if the surface pacing level needed to effect capture is within an acceptance level. Such determinations are preferably based on a proportionality relationship between a subcutaneous defibrillation level and a surface pacing level.

    摘要: Transthoracic cardiac stimulation therapies provide for detection and treatment of cardiac asystole subsequent to delivery of a defibrillation therapy. A pacing therapy is transthoracicly delivered to terminate detected cardiac asystole using residual energy from a defibrillation energy storage source. The residual energy usable for the pacing therapy is sufficient to transthoracicly deliver at least one pacing pulse, and is typically sufficient to deliver a series of pacing pulses, prior to depletion of the defibrillation energy storage source. Detection of cardiac asystole is performed following delivery of each pacing pulse, and subcutaneous pacing support is terminated in response to detecting cardiac asystole termination.
