    摘要: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system is adapted for use by an ambulatory patient who already has an implanted pacemaker. If implanted, such a pacemaker may occasionally be emitting, without the knowledge of the WCD system, pacing signals that may be adding pacing artifacts to the ECG signal. The WCD system may use multiple electrodes to sense ECG signals along multiple vectors that have channels. In embodiments, the WCD system identifies a preferred one of its available channels according to how easily the pacing artifacts are detected within its ECG signal. When the patient's parameters indicate that an alert criterion is met, the WCD system may attempt to read the ECG signal from the preferred channel first. This way the WCD system may be able to identify faster the pacing artifacts, and therefore analyze the ECG signal faster, with an opportunity to react faster to the alert criterion being met.

    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: 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, compare the QRS complexes in the segment to the other QRS complexes in the segment to identify a main template QRS complex, identify the QRS complexes in the segment that are similar to the main template, determine RR intervals between consecutive similar QRS complexes to calculate RR variability in the RR intervals, and detect atrial fibrillation (AF) in the segment when RR variability is greater than a threshold value. Other examples and related methods are also disclosed herein.

    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.
