    摘要: An adherent device is configured to adhere to the skin of the patient with an adherent patch, for example breathable tape, coupled to at least four electrodes. The device comprises impedance circuitry coupled to the at least four electrodes and configured to measure respiration of the patient to detect sleep apnea and/or hypopnea. The impedance circuitry may be used to measure hydration of the patient. An accelerometer can be mechanically coupled to the adherent patch such that the accelerometer can be coupled to and move with the skin of the patient. Electrocardiogram circuitry to generate an electrocardiogram signal may be coupled to at least two of the at least four electrodes to detect the sleep apnea and/or hypopnea.

    摘要: A lead delivery system for delivering a neurostimulation lead to a patient's internal jugular vein using a percutaneous stick. The system comprises a neurostimulation lead adapted to stimulate a vagus nerve from the internal jugular vein. The lead includes a proximal end, a distal end, a generally spiral shaped retaining structure interposed between the proximal and distal ends and configured to retain the lead in the internal jugular vein, an electrode coupled to the retaining structure, and a side port interposed between the retaining structure and the proximal end. The side port provides access to a lumen extending from the distal end to the side port. A guidewire is sized to fit within the side port and lumen and reduce a force exerted by the retaining structure against the internal jugular vein, thereby allowing rotation of the lead and orientation of the electrode by applying a torque to the lead. A catheter has a lumen sized to slideably receive the medical electrical lead and configured to provide access to the internal jugular vein from the percutaneous stick site. A method of delivering a medical electrical lead to a patient's internal jugular vein.

    摘要: A lead for sensing and pacing a left ventricle of the heart includes a lead body having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a lumen extending through the lead body, a conductor extending through the lead body from the proximal end to the distal end and an electrode disposed on the distal portion of the lead body and electrically coupled to the conductor. A distal tip of the lead body is continuously deflectable upon advancement and withdrawal of a stylet through the lumen at the distal portion to access a selected branch of the coronary sinus. The distal tip of the lead body may be offset before or after continuously deflecting the distal tip.
