    • There is provided a dual chamber pacemaker system and method for ventricular pacing to provide therapy for a patient with cardiomyopathy, this system being characterized by automatically adjusting the AV escape interval so that ventricular pace pulses are delivered at an AV delay which is optimized for HOCM and/or dialated cardiomyopathy therapy. The pacemaker system continually obtains and stores representations of a QRS wave characteristic such as duration, derived either directly from the QRS signal or from an FFRS signal, and compares duration data from one or more cycles to prior stored duration data. The system then adjusts the AV interval as a function of the duration comparison, and the direction of the last adjustment of AV escape interval. By this means, the AV escape interval is maintained at or just short of the onset of fusion, thereby automatically providing for optimally lengthened AV escape intervals consistent with full capture by the delivered ventricular pace pulse.
    • 提供了一种用于心室起搏的双室心脏起搏器系统和方法,用于为患有心肌病的患者提供治疗,该系统的特征在于自动调节AV逃逸间隔,使得心室起搏脉冲在AV延迟下被传递,该AV延迟被优化用于HOCM, /或拨号心肌病治疗。 起搏器系统连续地获得并存储QRS波特征的表示,例如持续时间,直接从QRS信号或从FFRS信号导出,并将来自一个或多个周期的持续时间数据与先前存储的持续时间数据进行比较。 然后,系统根据持续时间比较调整AV间隔,并调整AV转义间隔的最后调整方向。 通过这种方式,AV逃逸间隔保持在融合开始或短于融合开始,从而自动提供与被传递的心室起搏脉冲的完全捕获相一致的最佳延长的AV逃逸间隔。

    • A pacemaker having a fault-tolerant elective replacement indicator (ERI) triggering scheme in which transient excursions of parameters used as criteria for triggering ERI are rejected as triggering events. Periodic assessments of certain indicia of battery depletion are made, and subjected to a long-term low-pass filtering operation in order to reduce the effects of transient excursions of the indicia which result from non-ERI conditions. Over a long period of time (e.g., a day) predetermined threshold values of the indicia of interest must be exceeded a predetermined number of times in order for the device to issue an ERI. In one disclosed embodiment of the invention, the battery's loaded terminal voltage and internal impedance are used as indicators of the battery's depletion level. Periodically, these values are measured and converted to digital values. The digital values are subjected to a low-pass filtering operation to prevent temporary or transient excursions of the impedance and voltage curves from causing ERI to be triggered. In another disclosed embodiment of the invention, a long term fading average of periodically measured values is maintained. When the measured values are found to fulfill the ERI criteria, assessment of the parameters of interest is performed at an increased rate. While assessments are performed at the increased rate, the continuously updated fading average value must fulfill the ERI triggering criteria at least a predetermined number of times before ERI is triggered. If the fading average fails to fulfill the ERI triggering criteria the required number of times, assessments are resumed at the first, slower periodic rate.

    • An apparatus and method for communicating acoustic telemetry data produced by an implantable medical device over a communication channel includes a signal generator, a modulator, and an acoustic transmitter each provided in the implantable medical device. The modulator modulates a carrier signal with an information signal representative of information acquired or produced by the implantable medical device so as to produce a modulated information signal. The modulated information signal may have a frequency content that is readily accommodated by a public exchange communication channel. The transmitter transmits the modulated information signal as an acoustic information signal in a form communicable over the communication channel. The acoustic information signal may constitute telephonic tones which are directly communicable over a conventional telephone connection. The acoustic information signal may constitute digital telephonic tones each having a frequency and format that conforms to one or more telephony standards. In an embodiment in which the communication channel constitutes a public exchange communication channel, the acoustic information signal preferably has a frequency content that is band limited by an audio bandwidth of the public exchange communication channel. A number of different modulation techniques may be employed, including phase modulation, amplitude modulation or frequency modulation. Implantable medical devices which may incorporate telemetry circuitry of the present invention include a pacemaker, a pacemaker/cardioverter/defibrillator (PCD), an oxygen sensing device, an implantable hemodynamic monitor, a muscle stimulator device or a nerve stimulator device.

    • A rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker implements a novel scheme which detects incipient vasovagal syncope (or other episodes caused by a vasodepressive or cardioinhibitory disorder) when a) the heart rate drops below a programmable minimum size, and b) the rate after said drop is below a programmable maximum drop ending rate. The pacemaker implements a stability and intervention procedure upon the detection of an episode, in which it ignores transient drops in rate, and paces at a predetermined high rate if the drops are stable. The pacemaker then gradually reduces the pacing rate over a predetermined time to the pre-episodic level. A sleep disable feature disables the vasovagal syncope detection and therapy features during the patient's sleeping hours to reduce or eliminate false positive responses.

    • An implantable cardiac pacemaker having programmable stimulating pulse amplitudes selectable by means of an external programming unit. The pacemaker includes charge pump circuitry for developing a stimulating pulse voltage on an output capacitor. The output capacitor is charged to a selected level identified by a multiple-bit amplitude value communicated to the implanted device from the external programmer. The pacemaker is also provided with circuitry for monitoring the depletion level of its battery and for generating an indicator signal when the battery has depleted beyond a predetermined level. Associated with the charge pump circuitry is a selectively activated comparator circuit for controlling the charging of the output capacitor. Prior to generation of the indicator signal, the charge pump circuitry remains deactivated for some programmed output amplitudes, the level of output capacitor charging being proportional to the battery voltage. After issuance of the indicator signal, the comparator circuit is activated to control the charging of the output capacitor. When the comparator circuit is activated for charging the capacitor, the resulting voltage established on the capacitor is proportional to a predetermined constant reference voltage. Longevity of the device is optimized by not activating the comparator circuit during early stages of battery depletion when the battery's output voltage is relatively stable.
