  • Patent number: 11704800
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for evaluating an impact of injury to brain networks or regions are provided. The method comprises receiving MRI data of a brain of an individual, including a first volumetric dataset recorded using first imaging parameters and a second volumetric dataset recorded using second imaging parameters, combining, on a voxel-by-voxel basis, first MRI data based on the first volumetric dataset and second MRI data based on the second volumetric dataset to produce a volumetric injury map, performing a structural-functional analysis of one or more brain networks or regions by refining the volumetric injury map using a volumetric eloquence map that specifies eloquent brain tissue within the one or more brain networks or regions to determine an impact of injury within the one or more brain networks or regions, and displaying a visualization of the determined impact of injury within the one or more brain networks or regions.

  • Patent number: 5873897
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for classifying and treating tachyarrhythmias. A cardiac stimulator includes an algorithm that uses dual chamber sensing to determine the type of tachyarrhythmia detected. If the tachyarrhythmia is of a type that responds well to ventricular therapy, such as a tachyarrhythmia originating in the ventricle rather than the atrium, the tachyarrhythmia is grouped into a treatable category. Accordingly, the cardiac stimulator applies therapy, or therapies, to the ventricle to remedy the ventricular tachyarrhythmia.

  • Patent number: 5861009
    Abstract: An implantable device for providing pacing and defibrillating stimuli to a heart, comprises: a power source, at least one electrode electrically connected to said power source, a sensor capable of providing data that can be used to determine a physiological pacing demand, and a control device. The control device controls the application of electrical stimuli to the heart. The control device calculates an adjusted pacing interval based on said demand, calculates an adjusted ventricular pace refractory period (VPRP.sub.current) that is a function of said pacing interval, and calculates a T-wave monitoring window. The end time, and optionally the start time also, of the T-wave window is a function of the pacing interval. The control device is also capable of adjusting the sensitivity of an amplifier based on signals received during the T-wave window.
