| 20110087119 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR USING IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS BASED ON ELECTRICAL ENERGY OF THE HEART - A method and a device are disclosed for evaluating the cardio-circulatory and pulmonary condition of a patient, including determining the patient's thoracic impedance based on information solely derived from the electrical energy generated by the patient's own heart. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110087304 | Method of vagal stimulation to treat patients suffering from congestive heart failure - An improved method is presented for evaluating the physiological status of a patient diagnosed with congestive heart failure and treating the patient accordingly to alleviate the congestive heart failure. As part of the method, the thoracic or cardiac impedance and ventilation of the particular patient are derived solely from an input consisting of cardiac signals (EKG) generated by electrical energy of the patient's heart as the heart is undergoing its cardiac cycle with a dynamic impedance obtained by subjecting the EKG to alternately high and low input impedances. The derived thoracic impedance and ventilation are used to control the pattern and rate at which stimulating electrical pulses are applied to the patient's vagus nerve by an implanted stimulator, in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient's heart by adjusting the heart rate to a prescribed target rate for alleviating the congestive heart failure. A change in state of the patient from one of rest to one of physical exercise and vice versa detected from the derived impedance and ventilation is accommodated by modifying the vagal stimulation therapy to adjust the patient's heart rate to a new target rate accordingly, while continuing to deliver the therapy for alleviating the congestive heart failure. A closed loop system is preferably employed for the control and adjustment functions. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110190642 | Method of detecting sleep apnea and treatment thereof - A method is presented for evaluating whether an episode of sleep apnea is occurring in a patient suffering from chronic sleep apnea disorder, for delivery of appropriate therapy. The method, performed by an implantable device, includes sensing the patient's EKG signal and using electrical energy generated by the heart to power subsequent signal processing. This signal is applied as the sole input to a differential signal processing circuit for passage through both a high impedance path and a substantially lower impedance path and amplification of the difference in magnitude between the resulting two signals, to determine changes in the patient's thoracic impedance. Based on such changes, the presence or absence of patient ventilation is detected, to enable an assessment of whether an episode of sleep apnea is occurring. An actual episode of sleep apnea is deemed to have occurred if lack of ventilation exceeds a predetermined interval of time between otherwise regular respiratory cycles. If sleep apnea is indicated, the appropriate therapy is delivered by the device to induce ventilation and halt the apnea episode. | 08-04-2011 |
