Implantable Cardiac Stimulation Device And Method Providing Dynamic Sensing Configurations For Bichamber Stimulation And Tachyarrhythmia Detection
Michael Paris - San Francisco CA, US Eric Husky - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Pacesetter, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/365
US Classification:
607 18, 607 9, 607 15
Abstract:
An implantable cardiac stimulation device provides bichamber pacing and dynamic bichamber and single chamber sensing. The device includes a sensing circuit that senses activity of a heart, a lead system coupled to a plurality of chambers of the heart, and a cardiac rate circuit that determines a cardiac rate of the heart. A control circuit causes the lead system to couple the sensing circuit to corresponding chambers of the heart to enable bichamber trigger pacing when the cardiac rate is below a given rate and to a single chamber of the heart when the cardiac rate is above the given rate to enable enhanced tachycardia sensing.

Pacesetter, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/37
US Classification:
607 30
Abstract:
An implantable medical device (IMD) may include a communication module, a therapy control module, a firmware control module, and a service application. The communication module is configured to wirelessly communicate over an RF link with an external device. The therapy control module is configured to deliver therapy to the patient, and may include a reprogrammable therapy logic circuit configured to operate the therapy control module in a reprogrammable mode of operation, and base-therapy state machine (BTSM) logic circuit configured to operate the therapy control module in a base therapy mode of operation. The firmware control module may include CPU and a memory. The service application may be stored in the memory. The firmware control module is configured to launch the service application, and the BTSM logic circuit provides a base level of sensing and pacing therapy while the communications module in parallel maintains the RF link with the external device.
