Abstract: A method for programming an implantable medical device for stimulating a human or animal heart with the help of a programming device. The method comprises the following steps: a) providing a first input parameter to the programming device, the first input parameter being indicative whether a first stimulation unit is to be used to stimulate the His bundle of a heart; b) if the first input parameter indicates that the first stimulation unit is to be used to stimulate the His bundle of the heart, supporting a user of the programming device to configure the implantable medical device for His bundle pacing by automatically proposing at least one stimulation parameter and an assigned stimulation parameter value specifically adapted for His bundle pacing; c) allowing programming of the implantable medical device by allowing setting the at least one stimulation parameter value.

Abstract: An implantable medical device for stimulating a human or animal heart. In operation, the device performs the following steps: a) sensing an atrial electric signal a the first detection unit; b) sensing an electric signal at the His bundle with a second detection unit upon termination of a first time period starting upon sensing the atrial electric signal with the first detection unit and/or starting upon applying a stimulation pulse, wherein the first time period lies in a range of from 10 ms to 100 ms; c) classifying the electric signal sensed with the second detection unit as His bundle activity signal or as ventricular activity signal.

Abstract: An implantable medical device for stimulating a human or animal heart, comprising a first processor, a first memory unit, a stimulation unit configured to stimulate a first cardiac region of a human or animal heart, and a detection unit configured to detect an electric signal at the first cardiac region of the same heart, wherein the detection unit comprises i) an electrode lead having an electrode pole and ii) a first channel for measuring electric signals provided by the electrode lead. A maximum sensitivity of the first channel of the detection unit is adjustable in dependence on a stimulation site of the electrode pole, wherein the maximum sensitivity of the first channel lies in a range of from 0.1 mV to 0.4 mV if the electrode pole is intended to detect electric signals at the His bundle of the heart.

Abstract: An implantable system for stimulating a heart contains a processor, a memory, a stimulator, and a first detection unit for detecting a cardiac rhythm disturbance of a cardiac region. The memory includes a computer-readable program, which prompts the processor to carry out the following steps: a) detecting via the first detection unit whether a cardiac rhythm disturbance is present in a cardiac region of a heart of a patient; b) when a cardiac rhythm disturbance is present, selecting a stimulation strategy based on a selection criterion; c) stimulating the cardiac region in which the cardiac rhythm disturbance was detected by way of the stimulator, using the selected stimulation strategy; d) detecting a success and/or an efficiency of the conducted stimulation; e) comparing the success and/or the efficiency to a predefinable success and/or efficiency criterion; and f) if the predefinable success and/or efficiency criterion was not achieved, optimizing the stimulation strategy.

Abstract: An implantable system for the diagnostic and/or therapeutic treatment of a human or animal patient contains a processor, a memory, a treatment unit and a remote data transmission unit. The system is characterized in that the memory includes a computer-readable program which prompts the processor to carry out the following steps when the program is being executed on the processor: a) ascertaining whether a treatment functionality of the treatment unit could jeopardize a patient in whom the system was implanted if a diagnostic and/or therapeutic treatment of the patient corresponding to the treatment functionality were to be carried out; b) deactivating the treatment functionality when a potential risk for the patient was ascertained; c) receiving reactivation data by way of the remote data transmission unit; and d) reactivating the deactivated treatment functionality based on the received reactivation data.

Abstract: An implantable system stimulates a human or animal heart. The system contains a processor, a memory unit, an atrial stimulation unit, a ventricular stimulation unit, and a detection unit for detecting atrial tachycardia. The memory unit stores a computer-readable program that prompts the processor to: a) detect by the detection unit whether atrial tachycardia to be treated is present in the heart; b) when atrial tachycardia to be treated is present, carrying out a ventricular conditioning stimulation by way of the ventricular stimulation unit; and c) applying atrial antitachycardia pacing in the form of a stimulation pulse sequence of 2 to 20 pulses or a high-frequency burst having a frequency of up to 50 Hz and a duration of up to 60 seconds by way of the atrial stimulation unit as the ventricular conditioning stimulation is being carried out and/or thereafter.
