Abstract: In one example, an apparatus of a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system comprises a support structure wearable by a patient, a plurality of electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes to obtain an ECG signal, a processor to receive and analyze the ECG signal of the patient, wherein the processor is configured to monitor four or more channels of the ECG signal, a high voltage subsystem coupled with defibrillation electrodes configured to be coupled with patient, wherein processor is configured to cause the high voltage subsystem to apply a therapeutic shock to the patient through the defibrillation electrodes in response to a shockable event detected by the processor from the ECG signal. The processor measures a peak-to-peak amplitude of QRS complexes of the ECG signal, and detects asystole in the patient when the peak-to-peak amplitude of one or more QRS complexes is less than an asystole threshold. Other examples and related methods are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for subject rehospitalization management. In an example, multiple physiologic signals can be obtained from a subject using multiple sensors. In response to a hospitalization event, pre-hospitalization characteristics of the multiple physiologic signals can be identified. Post-hospitalization characteristics of the multiple physiologic signals can be identified, including characteristics that differ from their corresponding pre-hospitalization characteristics. Later subsequent physiologic signals can be further monitored after the hospitalization event, such as using the same multiple sensors, and subsequent physiologic signal characteristics can be identified. In an example, a heart failure diagnostic indication can be determined using information about the pre-hospitalization characteristics, the post-hospitalization characteristics, and the subsequent characteristics. Information about relative changes in signal characteristics from multiple sensors can be used to identify particular subject physiologic signals to monitor during subsequent periods.

Abstract: Implantable medical device for stimulating a human or animal heart. The implantable medical device performs the following steps: a) detecting, with the first detection unit, an electric signal of a heart to be stimulated, the electric signal comprising at least two consecutive amplitudes correlating with a contraction of the heart to be stimulated; b) determining i) whether a first amplitude of the two consecutive amplitudes and a second amplitude of the two consecutive amplitudes have a maximum lying within a predeterminable intensity range, and/or ii) whether a maximum of the first amplitude and a maximum of the second amplitude deviate from each other in terms of intensity by not more than 20%; and c) preventing an atrial stimulation with the first stimulation unit if at least one of conditions i) and ii) of step b), if tested, is not fulfilled, otherwise allowing an atrial stimulation with the first stimulation unit.

Abstract: An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) receives a cardiac electrical signal by a sensing circuit while operating in a sensing without pacing mode and detects asystole based on the cardiac electrical signal. The ICD determines, in response to detecting the asystole, if asystole backup pacing is enabled, and automatically switches to a temporary pacing mode in response to the asystole backup pacing being enabled. Other examples of detecting asystole and providing a response to detecting asystole by the ICD are described herein.

Abstract: A medical device is configured to deliver therapeutic electrical stimulation pulses by generating frequency modulated electrical stimulation pulse signals. The medical device includes a pulse signal source and a modulator. The pulse signal source generates an electrical stimulation pulse signal having a pulse width. The modulator may include a high frequency modulator configured to modulate a frequency of the pulse signal from a starting frequency down to a minimum frequency during the pulse width. The modulator may include a low frequency bias generator to modulate the offset of the pulse signal between a minimum offset and a maximum offset in other examples.

Abstract: A surgical or laparoscopic method of creating and maintaining an opening in the thoracic diaphragm of a patient. The method comprising the steps of creating an incision in the thoracic diaphragm and thereby creating an opening in the thoracic diaphragm, placing a diaphragm passing part in said opening created in the thoracic diaphragm, passing from the abdomen through the thoracic diaphragm and into the thorax; wherein the step of placing said diaphragm passing part comprises placing a force transferring part of the diaphragm passing part in contact with the thoracic diaphragm, the force transferring part being adapted to transfer force between the abdominal side of the thoracic diaphragm and the thoracic side of the thoracic diaphragm while sliding against the thoracic diaphragm.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for regulating a temperature of an esophagus when heat or cold is delivered to a left atrium, the method including altering a heat exchange device from an insertable configuration to a heat exchanging configuration which conforms and corresponds with a cross-section of an inside of the esophagus such that the esophagus is maintained in its natural shape and location. In some embodiments the heat exchange device has a heating/cooling balloon which is inflated to be in the heat exchanging configuration. Some alternative embodiments includes altering the configuration of the balloon to conform to or correspond with the cross section of an esophagus by means other than inflation.
