Abstract: A system may measure, by one or more sensors, a biometric parameter associated with a subject. The system may determine values of a control parameter based on measuring the biometric parameter. The control parameter may include blood pressure of the subject. The system may perform a control measure based on a comparison of the values of the control parameters to a threshold. Performing the control measure may include delivering therapy treatment to the subject or outputting a notification indicating an action associated with treating a medical condition. Measuring the biometric parameter, determining the values of the control parameter, and performing the control measure may be in response to one or more trigger criteria.

Abstract: Techniques are described including sensing at least one cardiac signal for a patient during a specified time period; determining a short-term variability (STV) metric for the patient based on the at least one cardiac signal sensed during the specified time period, wherein determining the STV metric comprises at least one of: controlling the determined STV metric based on one or more confounding factors, or correcting the determined STV metric based on the one or more confounding factors, wherein the one or more confounders comprise T-wave morphology; and generating a corresponding notification based on the STV metric to one or more computing devices.

Abstract: A system for use during revascularization includes a catheter having an adjustable balloon for delivery a stent, one or more pacing electrodes for delivering one or more pacing pulses to a patient's heart, and a pacemaker configured to generate the one or more pacing pulses to be delivered to the heart via the one or more pacing electrodes. The one or more pacing pulses are delivered at a rate substantially higher than the patient's intrinsic heart rate without being synchronized to the patient's intrinsic cardiac contractions, and are delivered before, during, or after an ischemic event to prevent or reduce cardiac injury.

Abstract: Cardiac protection pacing is applied to prevent or reduce cardiac injury and/or occurrences of arrhythmia associated with an ischemic event including the occlusion of a blood vessel during a revascularization procedure. Pacing pulses are generated from a pacemaker and delivered through one or more pacing electrodes incorporated onto a percutaneous transluminal vascular intervention (PTVI) device used in the revascularization procedure. The pacemaker generates the pacing pulses according to a predetermined cardiac protection pacing sequence before, during, and/or after the ischemic event.

Abstract: A pacing system delivers cardiac protection pacing to protect the heart from injuries associated with ischemic events. The pacing system detects an ischemic event and, in response, initiates one or more cardiac protection pacing sequences each including alternative pacing and non-pacing periods. In one embodiment, the pacing system initiates a cardiac protection pacing sequence in response to the detection of the onset of an ischemic event, such that a pacing concurrent conditioning therapy is applied during the detected ischemic event.

Abstract: A device and method for delivering electrical stimulation to the heart in a manner which provides a protective effect is disclosed. The protective effect is produced by configuring a cardiac pacing device to intermittently switch from a normal operating mode to a stress augmentation mode in which the spatial pattern of depolarization is varied to thereby subject a particular region or regions of the ventricular myocardium to increased mechanical stress.
