| 20110130666 | ENHANCED REPORTING OF PATHOLOGICAL EPISODES - An apparatus comprises a sensor circuit configured to produce a time-varying physiologic sensor signal of a subject and a pathology detection circuit communicatively coupled to the sensor. The pathology detection circuit is configured to detect a first pathological episode using the sensed physiologic sensor signal, deem that the first pathological episode has ended, detect at least one second pathological episode using the sensed physiologic sensor signal, and indicate the first and second pathological episodes as one pathological episode if the first and second episode are detected within a specified time interval. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110224988 | INTRACARDIAC ELECTROGRAM TIME FREQUENCY NOISE DETECTION - Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying and classifying noise of an intracardiac electrogram of a cardiac rhythm management device to prevent inaccurate detection of a cardiac episode are disclosed. In an example, three channels are analyzed to identify and determine whether an episode or noise has been detected. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20120035489 | RHYTHM DISCRIMINATION ENHANCEMENT - CHAMBER OF TACHY ORIGINATION - An apparatus comprises an implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit and a controller circuit. The implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit provides a sensed depolarization signal from a ventricle and a sensed depolarization signal from an atrium. The controller circuit includes an onset detection circuit and a classification circuit. The onset detection circuit detects an onset episode that includes fast cardiac depolarizations and identifies a depolarization that initiates the onset episode. The classification circuit classifies the onset episode as supra-ventricular tachycardia (SVT) when the initiating onset episode is identified in the atrium and the number of atrial depolarizations is greater than or equal to the number of ventricular depolarizations during the onset episode, and as ventricular tachycardia (VT) when the initiating onset depolarization is identified in the ventricle and the number of ventricular depolarizations is greater than the number of atrial depolarizations during the onset episode. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120035491 | RHYTHM DISCRIMINATION ENHANCEMENT - AV DRIVE - An apparatus comprises an implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit and a controller circuit. The implantable cardiac signal sensing circuit provides a sensed depolarization signal from a ventricle and a sensed depolarization signal from an atrium. The controller circuit includes a one-to-one detector circuit and a tachyarrhythmia discrimination circuit. The one-to-one detector circuit measures cardiac depolarization intervals of the atrium and the ventricle and determines whether a relationship of atrial depolarizations to ventricular depolarizations is substantially one-to-one. The tachyarrhythmia discrimination circuit increments a counter when detecting a shortening or prolonging of a V-V interval that immediately precedes the same shortening or prolonging of an A-A interval, classifies the episode as VT according to the counter, and provides the classification of the tachyarrhythmia episode to a user or process. | 02-09-2012 |
