    • A system and method which employs atrial discrimination algorithms to distinguish between different atrial arrhythmias occurring in a patient for selecting an optimal pacing therapy corresponding to the type of arrhythmia identified. The invention may be implemented in a bradycardia pacemaker or other implantable cardiac device. In response to the detection of an atrial rate above the atrial tracking rate, discrimination criteria are applied to a detected atrial activity signal to distinguish between different types of supraventricular tachycardia, such as fast atrial flutter and other atrial flutter at a relatively slower rate, which may be occurring in the patient. The discrimination criteria may be, for example, rate-based or morphology based. The pacer is controlled to provide pacing therapy to a heart in a manner corresponding to the type of supraventricular tachycardia identified. For example, antitachycardia pacing may be provided to the heart in response to the detection of a relatively lower rate supraventricular tachycardia/other atrial flutter, whereas another pacing control, e.g., ventricular pacing, such as ventricular rate regulation or Rate Smoothing, may be applied if a more rapid rate supraventricular tachycardia/fast atrial flutter is identified. The output of an atrial discrimination algorithm may be tracked and the trend thereof used to improve therapy timing.

    • Thousands of patients prone to irregular and sometimes life threatening heart rhythms have miniature heart-monitoring devices, such as defibrillators and cardioverters, implanted in their chests. These devices detect abnormal heart rhythms and automatically apply electrical therapy to restore normal heart function. Significant parts of these devices include the microprocessor and stored instructions, or algorithms, that govern how the devices interpret and react to electrical signals indicative of normal or abnormal heart rhythms. These algorithms generally use the time intervals between successive heart beats, or cardiac events, as a key factor in therapy decisions. To ensure accuracy of interval measurements, the inventor devised new methods for processing heart electrical signals, some of which ensure accurate interval measurements without unduly delaying therapy decisions or consuming significant battery power. One of these new methods detects an abnormal interval measurement and either disqualifies the abnormal interval from use in making therapy decisions or divides the abnormal interval into two or more other intervals, thereby facilitating identification and treatment of abnormal rhythmic conditions both efficiently and accurately.

    • Thousands of patients prone to irregular and sometimes life threatening heart rhythms have miniature heart-monitoring devices, such as defibrillators and cardioverters, implanted in their chests. These devices detect onset of abnormal heart rhythms and automatically apply one or more shocks to their hearts. When properly sized and timed, the shocks restore normal heart function without human intervention. A critical part of these devices is the monitoring circuitry, which includes a microprocessor and stored instructions, or algorithms, that govern how the devices interpret and react to electrical signals indicative of abnormal heart rhythms. Often, the algorithms are too simple or too complex. Algorithms that are too simple lead to unnecessary shocking of the heart, while those that are too complex consume considerable battery power. Accordingly, the inventor devised a relatively simple and accurate algorithm for determining appropriate therapy options. One version of the algorithm computes three statistics—a range statistic, a minimum interval statistic, and a dispersion index—from a set of depolarization intervals. This algorithm defines the range statistic as the difference between largest and smallest depolarization intervals, the minimum interval as the smallest of the intervals, and the dispersion index as the standard deviation of the intervals. A scalar interval dispersion assessment, based on the three statistics, is then compared to a threshold to identify a rhythm as a flutter or fibrillation. The three statistics can also define a point in a three-dimensional space, with rhythm identification based on relative position of the point and a surface in the space.
    • 容易出现不规则,有时威胁生命的心脏节律的成千上万的患者将微型心脏监测装置(如除颤器和心脏复律器)植入胸部。 这些装置检测出异常心律的发作,并自动对其心脏施加一次或多次冲击。 正确的尺寸和时间,震荡恢复正常的心脏功能,无需人为干预。 这些设备的关键部分是监控电路,其包括微处理器和存储的指令或算法,其控制设备如何解释和反应指示异常心律的电信号。 通常,算法太简单或太复杂。 太简单的算法会导致心脏不必要的震动,而那些太复杂的算法会消耗大量的电池电量。 因此,发明人设计了一种相对简单和准确的算法来确定适当的治疗方案。 一个版本的算法从一组去极化间隔计算三个统计量 - 范围统计量,最小间隔统计量和色散指数。 该算法将范围统计量定义为最大和最小去极化间隔之间的差异,间隔的最小间隔,以及作为间隔的标准偏差的色散指数。 然后将基于三个统计量的标量间隔色散评估与阈值进行比较,以将节律识别为颤动或颤动。 三个统计数据还可以在三维空间中定义一个点,其中基于点的相对位置和空间中的表面的节奏识别。
