  • SELECTION OF SPINAL CORD STIMULATION ELECTRODES FOR USE IN CARDIAC THERAPY
    Publication number: 20160296758
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and/or devices for selecting spinal cord stimulation (SCS) electrode array configurations to provide effective cardiac therapy. Physiological parameters related to the heart may be monitored and analyzed during the delivery of SCS using various SCS electrode array configurations to determine an effect SCS electrode array configuration.
    Type: Application

  • Method and apparatus for atrial arrhythmia detection
    Patent number: 7627368
    Abstract: A medical device performs a method for detecting atrial arrhythmias. A signal including ventricular cycle length information is sensed in a patient and used to determine each difference between successive ventricular cycle lengths occurring during a predetermined time period. Each succeeding difference is stored as a data point in a histogram, and a metric of variability of the data points of the histogram is determined. An atrial arrhythmia is detected in response to the metric crossing a threshold. The threshold is determined in response to the number of ventricular cycle lengths occurring during the predetermined time period.
