Abstract: The disclosure herein relates generally to methods for treating heart conditions using vagal stimulation, and further to systems and devices for performing such treatment. Such methods may include monitoring physiological parameters of a patient, detecting cardiac conditions, and delivering vagal stimulation (e.g., electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve or neurons having parasympathetic function) to the patient to treat the detected cardiac conditions.

Abstract: Methods and/or devices for initiating an automatic adjustment of arrhythmia detection parameters (e.g., upon delivery of cardiac therapy after detection of VT/VF).

Abstract: A method of tracking a medical device in a body includes inserting the medical device into a body and emitting a sonic signal from a transceiver coupled to the medical device. The method further includes receiving an echo of the sonic signal with the transceiver and detecting a location of the medical device in the body based on the received echo.

Abstract: A method of detecting a cardiac event in a medical device that includes sensing cardiac signals from a plurality of electrodes forming a first sensing vector and a second sensing vector, and determining first heart rate estimates associated with cardiac signals sensed from the first sensing vector and cardiac signals sensed from the second sensing vector in response to a metric of heart rate associated with the sensed cardiac signals. Second heart rate estimates associated with the first sensing vector and with the second sensing vector are generated in response to the determined first heart rate estimates, and a determination is made as to whether both of the second heart rate estimates are greater than a predetermined heart rate threshold.

Abstract: A method of detecting a cardiac event in a medical device that includes sensing a cardiac signal from a plurality of electrodes, determining amplitudes of the sensed cardiac signal during a predetermined sensing window, determining a noise to signal ratio corresponding to the determined amplitudes, and determining the sensed cardiac signal during the predetermined sensing window is corrupted by noise in response to the determined noise to signal ratio being greater than a noise to signal ratio threshold.

Abstract: An implantable medical device system and method are provided for monitoring the quality of signals sensed by a subcutaneously implanted device using subcutaneous electrodes. In one embodiment, the method includes selecting one or more sensing vectors; sensing signals from selected sensing vectors, determining a signal quality metric in response to a sensed signal, comparing the signal quality metric to a predetermined threshold, and generating a loss of signal quality response in response to the signal quality crossing the threshold.
