    摘要: The present invention relates generally to methods and systems for optimizing stimulation of a heart of a patient. Hemodynamical index signals reflecting a mechanical functioning of a heart of a patient are recorded at different hemodynamical states. Corresponding hemodynamical reference signals at corresponding hemodynamical states are recorded. At least one hemodynamical index parameter is extracted from the recorded hemodynamical index signals. The at least one hemodynamical index parameter is a measure of the mechanical functioning of the heart and a hemodynamical index model is created, wherein the hemodynamical index model is based on the at least one hemodynamical index parameter and a comparison between output results from the hemodynamical index model and corresponding hemodynamical reference signals. From this hemodynamical index model, a hemodynamical index can be derived, which then can be used in determining patient customized cardiac pacing settings of the cardiac stimulator.

    摘要: An implantable medical device, IMD, (100) is connectable to at least one ventricular lead (210) having a ventricular basal electrode (214) and a ventricular apical electrode (212). The IMD (100) comprises a pulse generator (120) for generating pacing pulses applied to a heart (10) through the ventricular lead (210). The operation of this pulse generator (120) is controlled by a controller (130) that is configured to control the pulse generator to first deliver a pacing pulse to the ventricular basal electrode (214) to stimulate the basal portion of the ventricle (12, 14) before a pacing pulse is delivered to the apical portion of the ventricle (12, 14) by the ventricular apical electrode (212). This pulse sequence achieves a biologically more correct cardiac stimulation and a contraction pattern that reduces the risk for valvular regurgitation.

    摘要: In an implantable medical device and a method and computer-readable medium for operating the medical device to detect a condition of a heart of a patient, activity level of a patient and acoustic energy in a patient are sensed, and acoustic signals are generated that are indicative of heart sounds of the patient over predetermined periods of a cardiac cycle during successive cardiac cycles. A signal corresponding to a first sound is extracted from the sensed acoustic signal of a cardiac cycle. A relation is calculated between a first signal corresponding to the first heart sound in a first activity range, and a second signal corresponding to the first heart sound in a second predetermined activity level range. The calculated relation is compared with at least one reference value to detect the condition or a change of the condition.

    摘要: In an implantable heart stimulating device, system and method, a control circuit has first and second circuits for sensing and pacing. The first circuit can be connected to a first electrode member suited to be positioned in or at a first ventricle of the heart. The second circuit can be connected to a second electrode member suited to be positioned in or at a second ventricle of the heart. The control circuit is able to detect whether signals sensed by the second circuit are likely to be far field signals. The control circuit performs this detection by at least determining whether, during a predetermined time (length, more signals are sensed by the second circuit than by the first circuit.

    摘要: A first ventricle is stimulated at a stimulation site, a point of time for arrival at the AV node for at least one depolarization wave resulting from the stimulation is estimated and a first activation time interval substantially corresponding to the time interval required for at least one depolarization wave to travel from the stimulation site in the first ventricle to the AV node is computed. A similar process is used to compute a second activation time interval for the other ventricle. Based on these activation time intervals and a difference between the intervals, a pacing therapy can be determined.

    摘要: Systems and methods for optimizing the stimulation of a heart of a patient are disclosed herein. The method comprises delivering pacing therapy to the patient according to a pacing therapy setting schedule, using specific pacing intervals via specific electrode configurations. Further, sinus rate values are recorded over at least one cardiac cycle at each pacing therapy setting and it is determined whether a sinus rate value satisfies predetermined measurement conditions, wherein sinus rate values are used for trending the sinus rate over time if the measurement conditions are satisfied. The accepted sinus rate values, i.e. values that satisfy the measurement conditions, are trended over time, wherein each trended sinus rate value is created based on recordings from at least one cardiac cycle. A preferred pacing therapy setting is determined to be the pacing therapy setting that provides a lowest sinus rate.
