US Classification:

709223, 709227, 709238

Abstract:

Mechanisms and techniques provide a system that operates in a computerized device(s) to establish a data distribution path for content within a content distribution network by receiving a network topology definition defining at least one hierarchical interconnection of network groups. Each network group comprises at least one content engine. The system also receives a channel definition comprising a selection of a plurality of content engines that are to distribute content within the content distribution network. The plurality of content engines in the channel definition is selected from content engines within the network groups defined within the network topology definition. The system determines an assignment of at least one root content engine within the channel definition and applies a content distribution path determination technique to the network topology definition in relation to the channel definition to determine a set of content distribution paths in the content distribution network to be used for distribution of content from the root content engine(s) to the content engines defined in the channel definition.

Dan Li - Shoreview MN, US

Assignee:

Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61B 5/024

US Classification:

600515, 600518

Abstract:

An implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) includes a tachyarrhythmia detection and classification system that classifies tachyarrhythmias based on a morphological analysis of arrhythmic waveforms and a template waveform. Correlation coefficients each computed between morphological features of an arrhythmic waveform and morphological features of the template waveform provide for the basis for classifying the tachyarrhythmia. In one embodiment, morphological features are collected from a sensed arrhythmic waveform, and temporally corresponding morphological features are extracted a stored template waveform. In one embodiment, a correlation analysis takes into account the uncertainty associated with the production of the template waveform by using a template band that includes confidence intervals. In one embodiment, a correlation analysis produces Mahalanobis distance-based correlation coefficients for use in the classification of the tachyarrhythmia. In one embodiment, the stability of correlation coefficients are analyzed to classify the tachyarrhythmia.

International Classification:

A61B 5/0402
A61B 5/0472

US Classification:

600515, 600516, 600517, 600518

Abstract:

An implantable medical device includes an arrhythmia detection and classification system that classifies an arrhythmia episode based on an irregularity parameter and/or a complexity parameter. The arrhythmia episode is detected from a cardiac signal. The irregularity parameter is indicative of the degree of cycle length irregularity of the cardiac signal and the complexity parameter is indicative of the degree of morphological complexity of the cardiac signal. One example of the irregularity parameter is an irregularity sample entropy, or a parameter related to the irregularity sample entropy, computed to indicate the cycle length irregularity. One example of the complexity parameter is a complexity sample entropy, or a parameter related to the complexity sample entropy, computed to indicate the morphological complexity. In one embodiment, the detected arrhythmia episode is classified using both the irregularity parameter and the complexity parameter.

Assignee:

Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600508

Abstract:

A system comprising a medical device including a processor and a Z-score transformation (ZST) module. The system also includes a display in communication with the processor. The processor is adapted to receive sensor data obtained from at least first and second sensors adapted to produce a time-varying physiologic electrical sensor signal. At least one of the first and second sensors is implantable. The ZST module calculates a ZST for the sensor data received from the first sensor and a ZST for the sensor data received from the second sensor. The display is adapted to display the ZSTs in visual correspondence with each other over time.

International Classification:

A61B 5/02

US Classification:

600508, 600515

Abstract:

A tachyarrhythmia detection and classification system classifies tachyarrhythmias based on an analysis of morphological features of a cardiac signal enhanced by using one or more physiological parameters indicative of hemodynamic stability and/or activity level. The tachyarrhythmia detection and classification system computes a measure of similarity between an arrhythmic waveform of the cardiac signal a template waveform for that cardiac signal, such as a correlation coefficient representative of the correlation between morphological features of the arrhythmic waveform and morphological features of the template waveform. A detected tachyarrhythmia episode is classified by comparing the measure of similarity to a threshold that is dynamically adjusted using the one or more physiological parameters.

International Classification:

A61N 1/37
A61N 1/08

US Classification:

607 14, 607 4

Abstract:

A method comprising detecting a ventricular tachycardia heart rhythm in a patient, providing anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapy to the patient in response to the ventricular tachycardia heart rhythm, waiting a first time duration after the ATP therapy ends, and monitoring ventricular depolarizations after the first time duration has elapsed. The monitoring includes measuring time intervals between the ventricular depolarizations, and if a consecutive number of the intervals between the ventricular depolarizations are shorter than a first threshold interval value, then the method includes deeming that the ventricular tachycardia rhythm persists. Otherwise, if a fraction of the intervals between the ventricular depolarizations are shorter than a second threshold interval value, then the method includes deeming that the ventricular tachycardia heart rhythm persists, and otherwise deeming that the ventricular tachycardia rhythm is converted.

Dan Li - Shoreview MN, US

Assignee:

Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61N 1/362

US Classification:

607 14

Abstract:

An implantable medical device delivers anti-tachyarrhythmia therapies including anti-tachyarrhythmia pacing (ATP). When a tachyarrhythmia episode is detected, the implantable medical device analyzes cardiac cycle length stability to determine whether and/or when to deliver an ATP. In one embodiment, the cardiac cycle length stability is measured by existence of stable ventricular tachyarrhythmia clusters (SVTCs) during the tachyarrhythmia episode. Each SVTC includes at least a specified minimum number of heart beats over which the cardiac cycle lengths meet a stability criterion.
