摘要: Apparatus and methods for generating pulse pacing in a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (“WCD”). In one aspect the WCD circuitry includes a power source such as a battery coupled to a charger that provides charge energy to an energy storage module. Control circuitry is operatively coupled to the charger and the output circuitry, and configured to cause the WCD circuitry to generate pacing pulses delivered to therapy electrodes (attached to an ambulatory patient) without a current source. The WCD circuitry includes one or more processing elements that are used to execute instructions provided by one or more software modules that are configured to support various functionality, including controlling generation of pacing pulses.

摘要: A wearable medical system (WMS) includes one or more pacing capabilities. The WMS May detect when the patient's heart rhythm starts to deteriorate, but not necessarily in a way that requires Defibrillation. In particular, the WMS may detect bradycardia of one or more types, and then confirm the detection before pacing to treat the detected bradycardia.

摘要: A Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system has a processor that performs two different analyses to an ECG of the patient. A first-level analysis can be computationally economical, while a fuller second-level analysis can give shock/no-shock advice with more certainty. In some of these embodiments the second-level analysis of the ECG is performed only if the first-level analysis of the ECG detects a possible shockable condition. As such, the first-level analysis may operate as a gatekeeping function, often preventing the more computationally intensive second-level analysis from being performed. An advantage can be that the WCD system needs to store less charge, for powering the processor. In turn, this permits portions of the WCD system to be less bulky and weigh less.

摘要: A method to detect noise levels in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is provided. The method includes connecting to at least three sensing electrodes and obtaining a signal from each of the at least three sensing electrodes. The method also includes defining at least three channels between the at least three electrodes and obtaining heart data for a predetermined time period from the at least three channels wherein the heart data includes heart rate and QRS width. The method further includes comparing the heart data of each of the at least three channels to a consistency threshold.

摘要: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) including a support structure configured to be worn by an ambulatory patient, an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge, a discharge circuit coupled to the energy storage module, electrodes configured to render an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of the patient while the patient is wearing the support structure, a user interface configured to output an alarm in response to a noise alarm signal, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive the ECG signal, determine whether noise is present on the ECG signal, determine from the ECG signal whether a shock criterion is met, and cause the user interface to generate the noise alarm signal when the noise is present on the ECG signal and the shock criterion is met and not generate the noise alarm signal when noise is present on the ECG signal and the shock criterion is not met.

摘要: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) having a processor configured to receive a signal indicating a position and/or movement of the ambulatory patient while the ambulatory patient is wearing the support structure receive the ECG signal, determine from an ECG signal whether a shock criterion is met, determine a confirmation time period and/or a response time period based on the position and/or movement of the ambulatory patient, determine from the ECG signal whether the shock criterion is met after the confirmation time period has elapsed, cause the user interface to generate the shock alert signal based on the shock criterion determined after the confirmation time period has elapsed, and control the discharge circuit to discharge the stored electrical charge when a predetermined time period has elapsed after the shock alert signal.

摘要: In embodiments a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system is worn by an ambulatory patient. The WCD system analyzes an ECG signal of the patient, to determine whether or not the patient should be given an electric shock to restart their heart. If the WCD system determines that such a shock should be given, then it also determines whether or not a High Frequency (H-F) noise criterion is met by the ECG signal. If that H-F noise criterion is not met, the patient can be shocked. If, however, that H-F noise criterion is met, then the WCD system can confirm before shocking, by sensing another portion of the ECG signal, analyzing again, and so on. Thanks to the confirmation before shocking, the possibility is diminished that the ECG signal will indicate that a shock is needed falsely, due to H-F noise. This can further reduce false patient alarms, and so on.

摘要: A wearable medical includes a walking detector module with a motion sensor that is configured to detect when the patient is walking or running. In embodiments, a parameter (referred to herein as a “Bouncy” parameter) is determined from Y-axis acceleration measurements. In some embodiments, the Bouncy parameter is a measurement of the AC component of the Y-axis accelerometer signal. This detection can be used by the medical device to determine how and/or whether to provide treatment to the patient wearing the medical device. For example, when used in a WCD, the walking detector can prevent “false alarms” because a walking patient is generally conscious and not in need of a shock.

摘要: In one example, a cardiac monitoring system comprises a processor to receive a segment of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of a patient, and a memory to store the segment of the ECG. The processor is configured to identify QRS complexes in the segment of the ECG signal, generate a supraventricular (SV) template for SV complexes in the QRS complexes, identify SV complexes in the QRS complexes using the template, identify normal sinus rhythm (NSR) complexes in the segment of the ECG signal, obtain an atrial template for atrial waveforms in the NSR complexes, measure a range of a P-wave of the atrial waveforms from the NSR complexes, save the measured P-waves, and classify the identified SV complexes as either atrial fibrillation (AF) or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) using the atrial template. Other examples and related methods are also disclosed herein.
