Title: Method for predicting recurring ventricular arrhythmias
Inventor: ZHOU XIAOHONG
IPC: A61B5/364
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: An implantable medical device and method are provided for assessing autonomi c tone and risk factors associated with arrhythmias and, based on this assessment, an early recurrence of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation is predicted. Specifically, changes in R-R interval, heart rate variability, patient activity, and myocardial ischemia are measured prior to and after a detected an arrhythmia episode. A recurrence score is calculated as a weighted sum of measured parameters and compared to a prediction criterion. The prediction criterion may be a preset threshold score or an individualized episode template based on previously calculated recurrence scores associated with recurring episodes. Stored parameters and episode- related data may be downloaded for offline analyses for optimizing predictio n criteria and monitoring patient status.
