| 20090287103 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING PATIENT ACTIVITY AND/OR EXERCISE AND DISPLAYING INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAME - Patient activity and heart rate (HR) are monitored. For each of a plurality of time periods, periods of patient exercise and/or patient activity, if any, are detected based on the monitored patient activity and HR and an activity threshold. A cumulative duration of exercise and/or a cumulative duration of activity is/are determined for each time period, and the peak exercise HR for each period of patient exercise is detected. Information is stored, including duration information indicative of the cumulative duration of exercise and/or the cumulative duration of activity for each time period, and peak exercise information associated with the period of patient exercise during which the highest peak exercise HR occurred for each time period. The stored duration information, or information indicative thereof, are transferred from an implantable system to a non-implanted system so that a graphical representation of such information can be displayed and observed to evaluate exercise compliance and/or heart failure condition. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100305641 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PULMONARY EDEMA BASED ON IMPEDANCE MEASURED USING AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE DURING A LEAD MATURATION INTERVAL - Techniques are provided for use by implantable medical devices such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices for detecting pulmonary edema based on transthoracic impedance sensed using cardiac pacing/sensing leads, wherein detection can be performed while lead maturation occurs. Briefly, the implantable device determines whether the leads are within an initial post-implant interval following implant during which lead maturation generally occurs. The device then detects pulmonary edema or related medical conditions within the patient based on transthoracic impedance using a set of detection parameters adjusted for use during the post-implant interval. Thus, rather than “blanking” impedance data during lead maturation, the device instead detects and processes impedance during this period to identify possible episodes of pulmonary edema so that appropriate measures can be undertaken, such as delivery of warnings or titration of appropriate medications. | 12-02-2010 |
