Implantable system for treating a human heart or an animal heart

An implantable system for treating a heart contains a processor, a memory unit, a treatment unit including a treatment electrode, and a detection unit for detecting a cardiac event requiring treatment. The memory unit includes a computer-readable program, which prompts the processor to perform the following steps: a) detecting by way of the detection unit whether a cardiac event to be treated has occurred in the heart; b) if a cardiac event to be treated has occurred, determining a position of the treatment electrode or determining a variable correlating with this position; and c) comparing the position of the treatment electrode or the variable correlating with the position to a reference variable, and carrying out, or not carrying out a cardiac treatment by way of the treatment unit and the treatment electrode as a function of the position of the treatment electrode or the variable correlating with the position.

Triggering arrhythmia episodes for heart failure and chronotropic incompetence diagnosis and monitoring

Techniques are disclosed for detecting arrhythmia episodes for a patient. A medical device may receive one or more sensor values indicative of motion of a patient. The medical device may determine, based at least in part on the one or more sensor values, an activity level of the patient. The medical device may determine a heart rate threshold for triggering detection of an arrhythmia episode based at least in part on the activity level of the patient. The medical device may determine whether to trigger detection of the arrhythmia episode for the patient based at least in part on comparing a heart rate of the patient with the heart rate threshold. The medical device may, in response to triggering detection of the arrhythmia episode, collect information associated with the arrhythmia episode.

DETECTING WALKING IN A WEARABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFBRILLATOR SYSTEM

A wearable medical includes a walking detector module with a motion sensor that is configured to detect when the patient is walking or running. In embodiments, a parameter (referred to herein as a “Bouncy” parameter) is determined from Y-axis acceleration measurements. In some embodiments, the Bouncy parameter is a measurement of the AC component of the Y-axis accelerometer signal. This detection can be used by the medical device to determine how and/or whether to provide treatment to the patient wearing the medical device. For example, when used in a WCD, the walking detector can prevent “false alarms” because a walking patient is generally conscious and not in need of a shock.

INHIBITION OF ONSET OF CARDIAC TACHYARRHYTHMIA WITH INTERCOSTAL NERVE STIMULATION

An example medical device includes a plurality of electrodes, therapy delivery circuitry, and processing circuitry configured to control the therapy delivery circuitry to deliver electrical stimulation to an intercostal nerve of a patient via at least two of the plurality of electrodes, wherein the electrical stimulation is delivered with stimulation parameters configured to suppress ventricular tachyarrhythmia of the patient, wherein the stimulation parameters comprise a stimulation frequency less than or equal to 40 hertz (Hz).
