Abstract

A system and associated method is disclosed that comprises an electrode apparatus comprising a plurality of electrodes configured to be located proximate tissue of a patient. A display apparatus comprising a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to present information to a user. A computing apparatus coupled to the electrode apparatus and display apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is configured to determine whether a signal acquired from a channel associated with an electrode from the plurality of electrodes is valid and sufficiently strong by i)calculating a first derivative of the signal; ii) determining a minimum and maximum derivative from the first derivative; iii) determining whether signs of the minimum and maximum derivative are different; and in response to determining whether the signs of the minimum and maximum derivative are different, displaying on a display apparatus whether the signal is valid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to medical devices, and more particularly to medical devices for cardiac signal sensing, detection and analysis. Background technique [0002] An implantable medical device (IMD), such as an implantable pacemaker, cardioverter, defibrillator, or pacemaker-cardioverter-defibrillator, provides therapeutic electrical stimulation to the heart. IMDs may provide pacing to resolve bradycardia, or provide pacing or shocks to terminate tachyarrhythmias such as tachycardia or fibrillation. In some cases, the medical device may sense an intrinsic depolarization of the heart, detect an arrhythmia based on this intrinsic depolarization (or the absence of an intrinsic depolarization), and if an arrhythmia is detected based on an intrinsic depolarization The delivery of electrical stimulation to the heart is then controlled. [0003] IMDs can also provide cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), which is a form of pacing. CRT involve...
