    • Changes in fluid volume in a thoracic region, such as the lung, are detected by internally injecting a current through the region, detecting an induced voltage on the skin of the patient, and calculating an impedance value. A method for performing such a measurement includes injecting an electrical current between first and second internal electrodes that are implanted in the body and that are positioned such that a portion of the injected current flows through at least a portion of the region. The method also includes measuring a voltage between first and second external electrodes attached to an external surface of the skin of the body. The measured voltage is induced by the injected current. The method also includes calculating an impedance by taking the ratio of the measured voltage and the injected current, wherein the calculated impedance is related to the volume of fluid in the region.
    • 通过在该区域内部注入电流,检测患者皮肤上的感应电压和计算阻抗值来检测胸部区域(例如肺)中的体积变化。 用于执行这种测量的方法包括在注入到体内的第一和第二内部电极之间注入电流,并将其定位成使得一部分注入的电流流过该区域的至少一部分。 该方法还包括测量附接到身体皮肤的外表面的第一和第二外部电极之间的电压。 测量的电压由注入电流引起。 该方法还包括通过获取测量电压和注入电流的比值来计算阻抗,其中所计算的阻抗与该区域中的流体体积相关。

    • Electrodes of a subcutaneous monitoring system receive body electrical signals that indicate both cardiac and non-cardiac muscle activity. In general, non-cardiac muscle activity is often correlated with physical activity, and physical activity is typically a strong indicator of patient health. Exemplary systems and methods that detect non-cardiac muscle activity information in sensed body electrical waveforms may provide a diagnostic tool for monitoring physical activity level over time in patients that have subcutaneous monitoring systems. In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for presenting patient activity information in a graphical format over intervals of time include processing ECG waveform information to identify and to accumulate non-cardiac muscular activity information during each of the intervals of time. In various implementations, number, intensity, and/or duration of the events that are identified during a time interval may be accumulated and stored for subsequent recall.
    • 皮下监测系统的电极接收体内指示心脏和非心脏肌肉活动的电信号。 一般来说,非心肌肌肉活动通常与身体活动相关,身体活动通常是患者健康的强烈指标。 在检测到的身体电波形中检测非心脏肌肉活动信息的示例性系统和方法可提供用于在具有皮下监测系统的患者中随时间监测身体活动水平的诊断工具。 在说明性实施例中,用于以时间间隔以图形格式呈现患者活动信息的系统和方法包括处理ECG波形信息以在每个时间间隔期间识别和累积非心脏肌肉活动信息。 在各种实现中,可以累积并存储在时间间隔期间识别的事件的数量,强度和/或持续时间以用于随后的召回。

    • An implantable medical device includes a housing for the implantable device that is sized for implantation in a chest region of a patient and includes a housing electrode. A left ventricular lead port is connectable to a proximal end of a lead having first and second insulated conductors that extend from the proximal end of the lead to corresponding first and second electrodes near a distal end of the lead. An electrical impedance measurement circuit is electrically connected to the left ventricular lead port and the housing electrode. The circuit may inject current between the first lead electrode and the housing electrode, and measure a voltage potential, created by the current injection, between the second lead electrode and the housing electrode. The ratio of the measured voltage to injected current may be used for assessing pulmonary edema. The lead electrodes may be located in a left ventricular coronary vein.
