3 results about "Atrial pacing" patented technology

The engagement of the two atria via atrial pacing therapy is determined using one or more metrics based on monitored external electrical activity. For example, external electrical activity can be monitored during delivery of the atrial pacing therapy, right atrial and left atrial components can be generated based on the monitored external electrical activity, and one or more metrics can be generated based on the right atrial and left atrial components. One or more metrics can then be used to determine whether the atrial pacing therapy has biatrial engagement.

This invention discloses a method comprising locating a Koch triangle region in the right atrium of a patient's heart; securing at least one electrode of an implantable lead or device from the Koch triangle region to cardiac tissue for delivery of atrium-to-ventricle (VfA) cardiac therapy; and testing the position or depth of the at least one electrode to configure the VfA cardiac therapy. Locating the target implantation area in the Koch triangle region may include detecting atrial slow path potentials (ASP) or atrial pacing outputs.

The present invention provides VFA delivery and implant region detection. A method is disclosed that includes locating a Koch triangle region in a right atrium of a patient's heart; securing at least one electrode of an implantable lead or device to heart tissue from the Koch triangle region to deliver atrium-to-ventricle (VfA) cardiac therapy; and testing a location or depth of the at least one electrode to configure the VfA cardiac therapy. Locating a target implant region in the Koch triangle region can include detecting an atrial slow pathway potential (ASP) or an atrial pacing output.
