Abstract: A device and method for intravascular ultrasound imaging. An ultrasound
signal transmitter and detector is introduced into and may be moved through
a bodily lumen. The ultrasound signal transmitter and detector transmits
ultrasonic signals and detects reflected ultrasound signals which contain
information relating to the bodily lumen. A processor coupled to the ultrasound
signal transmitter and detector is programmed to derive a first image or series
of images and a second image or series of images from the detected ultrasound
signals. The processor is also programmed to compare the second image or
series of images to the first image or series of images respectively. The
processor may be programmed to stabilize the second image in relation to the
first image and to limit drift. The processor may also be programmed to
monitor the first and second images for cardiovascular periodicity, image
quality, temporal change and vasomotion. It can also match the first series of
images and the second series of images.

Abstract: The frequency of a signal is determined using a signal
filter having a signal filter skirt band frequency range
wherein an intermediate fraction of an initial amplitude of an
introduced signal passes through the signal filter (42). The
magnitude of the transmitted intermediate fraction varies with
the frequency of the introduced signal. A test applied signal
having a frequency which lies within the signal filter skirt
band frequency range is introduced into the signal filter (42).
The transmitted amplitude of the test applied signal is measured
after the test applied signal has passed through the signal
filter (42). The transmitted amplitude is utilized as an
indicator of the frequency of the test applied signal, either
directly or through a calibration relation for amplitude as a
function of frequency in the signal skirt band frequency range.

Abstract: There is provided a dual site pacing system, either
bi-ventricular or bi-atrial, wherein the pacemaker (30)
looks for a signal sense during the refractory period
following delivery of the pulse pair. If the threshold
of either heart chamber has risen above the level of the
delivered pulses, that chamber will not be captured, and
will not have an inherent refractory period following
delivery of the pulse pair. Under these circumstances,
and where the patient has conduction delay from one
chamber to the other, e.g., LBBB or RBBB, the excitation
signal from the other chamber will be sensed in the non-captured
chamber during the pacemaker refractory period.
Such a sensing during the pacemaker refractory period is
recognized to result from loss of capture, and is
utilized to automatically increase pulse output back up
to a safe level above threshold.
