Patent number: 8469897Abstract: A method and system for tracking quality of life in a patient with angina includes obtaining activity data and cardiac data, determining a level of physical activity of the patient and identifying an ischemic episode based on the cardiac data obtained during the physical activity. The method also provides for recording an activity level at the time the ischemic episode occurs. Furthermore, the method also provides for presenting activity level trends related to activity levels at the onset of ischemia to a user.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2007Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Pacesetter, Inc.Inventors: Seth Toren-Herrinton, Harish Krishnaswamy, Rajiv Venkata, Jason Sutor

Patent number: 7607036Abstract: Techniques are described for use by an implantable medical device equipped to use trim values, which allow the device to continue to use trim values despite certain memory errors such as parity errors. Briefly, optimal trim values are stored within RAM. Nominal trim values are stored within ROM. Device functions are then performed using the trim values stored within RAM. If an error is detected indicative of possible corruption of RAM, then the trim values from ROM are loaded into RAM to enable continued operation of the device using the nominal trim values despite the error. In a preferred implementation, the optimized trim values are initially stored at two separate locations within RAM. A procedure is described herein for allowing the device to continue to use the optimized trim values following a device reset if no parity error is detected. If a parity error occurred, the device instead uses the nominal trim values from ROM.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Pacesetter, Inc.Inventors: Jason Sutor, Renjie Huang
