Publication number: 20200037909Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting physiologic data to a user are discussed. An exemplary system includes a presentation control circuit configured to generate signal metrics from data subsets of a physiologic signal corresponding to a device-detected presence of a physiologic event. The signal metrics represent characteristics of the physiologic event. The presentation control circuit may determine, from the plurality of data subsets, a target subset of clinical significance, which has the corresponding signal metric satisfying a specific condition. The presentation control circuit may present the recognized target subset over other subsets of the physiologic data. A user may adjudicate the device detection of the physiologic event or adjust device parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2019Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: David L.

Patent number: 9227073Abstract: Methods and systems for performing capture threshold tests are described. During an initialization procedure a capture detection interval and capture detection threshold are determined based on peak values of cardiac signals sensed following the supracapture threshold initialization pulses. Following initialization, a plurality of pacing pulses to the atrium are delivered and the peak values of the cardiac signals sensed following each of the plurality of pacing pulses are determined. The peak values are compared to the pacing artifact threshold and the capture detection threshold. A timing of each of the peak values is compared to the capture detection interval. For each pacing pulse, discrimination between a captured response, a noncaptured response, and a fusion response is based on the peak value and timing comparisons.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Derek D.

Patent number: 9008760Abstract: A system and method for performing off-line analysis of cardiac electrogram data, comprising: retrieving an electrogram from a memory location; identifying a first-channel group of candidate beats from at least a first channel of the electrogram; and identifying a second-channel group of candidate beats from at least a second channel of an electrogram. For each first-channel beat candidate near a second-channel beat candidate, the amplitude of the first-channel beat candidate is compared with the amplitude of a previous beat and the amplitude of a next beat on the first electrogram channel, and first-channel beat candidates that are outside of a first pre-determined range from either the previous or next beat are removed. Then first-channel beat candidates that are outside of a second pre-determined range from either the previous or next beat candidate are removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Yanting Dong, Shijie Zhang, Deepa Mahajan, Chenguang Liu, Dan Li, Yayun Lin, Derek D.

Patent number: 8942791Abstract: A system and method for performing independent, off-line evaluation of event sensing for collected electrograms, comprising: sensing an electrogram using an implantable medical device (IMD); determining locations of heart beats on at least one channel of the electrogram using a multi-pass process, resulting in a group of multi-pass beat locations; storing the electrogram and device-identified beat locations in a memory location; and retrieving the electrogram and device-identified beat locations from the memory location. The multi-pass process determines locations of heart beats on at least a first channel of the electrogram. The device-identified group of beat locations are then compared to the multi-pass group of beat locations identified using the multi-pass method. Based on the comparing step, oversensing of beats, undersensing of beats, or noise from the device can be detected.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Yanting Dong, Shijie Zhang, Deepa Mahajan, Chenguang Liu, Dan Li, Yayun Lin, Derek D.

Patent number: 8442635Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for automatic electrode integrity management. Interelectrode impedance is measured for various electrode combinations of an implantable cardiac function management device. The impedance data is processed, such as at an external remote server, to determine whether an electrode is failing or has failed, to select an alternate electrode configuration, to alert a physician or patient, to predict a time-to-failure such as by using population data, or to reprogram electrode configuration or other device parameters of the implantable cardiac function management device.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Derek D.
