A method and device for detecting cardiac signals in a medical device that includes decomposing sensed cardiac signals using a wavelet function to form a corresponding wavelet transform, generating a first wavelet representation corresponding to the wavelet transform that is responsive to RR intervals of the sensed cardiac signals, generating a second wavelet representation that is not responsive to RR intervals associated with the sensed cardiac signals, and determining a device failure in response to the first wavelet representation and the second wavelet representation. The method and device may also include decomposing sensed cardiac signals using a wavelet function to form a corresponding wavelet transform, generating a wavelet representation that is not responsive to RR intervals of the sensed cardiac signals, determining RR intervals associated with the sensed cardiac signals, and determining a device failure in response to the first wavelet representation and the determined RR intervals.

摘要:
An implantable medical device and associated method for classifying a patient's risk for arrhythmias by sensing a cardiac electrogram (EGM) signal and selecting a first pair of T-wave signals and a second pair of T-wave signals. A first difference between the two T-wave signals of the first pair is compared to a second difference between the two T-wave signals of the second pair. A T-wave alternans phase reversal is detected in response to comparing the first difference and the second difference, and the patient's arrhythmia risk is classified in response to detecting the phase reversal.
摘要:
A method of detecting a cardiac event in a medical device that includes sensing cardiac signals from a plurality of electrodes forming a first sensing vector and a second sensing vector, and determining first heart rate estimates associated with cardiac signals sensed from the first sensing vector and cardiac signals sensed from the second sensing vector in response to a metric of heart rate associated with the sensed cardiac signals. Second heart rate estimates associated with the first sensing vector and with the second sensing vector are generated in response to the determined first heart rate estimates, and a determination is made as to whether both of the second heart rate estimates are greater than a predetermined heart rate threshold.

摘要:
A cardiac pacemaker and method of its use. The pacemaker is provided with a pacing electrode array configured for location at a left anterior portion of a patient's thorax between the patients third and sixth ribs, outside the patient's thoracic cavity. The pacing electrode array includes multiple pacing electrodes and preferably includes one or more steering electrodes for configuring the electrical field produced by delivery of pacing pulses to avoid unwanted nerve and muscle stimulation while allowing cardiac stimulation. The electrode array may be located subcutaneously, submuscularly or on the patient's skin.
