Patent

CA 2428873

A system and method for long-monitoring of cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias is disclosed. The invention includes a pulse generator including means for sensing an arrhythmia. The pulse generator is coupled to at least one subcutaneous electrode or electrode array for providing electrical stimulation such as cardioversion/defibrillation shocks and/or pacing pulses. The electrical stimulation may be provided between multiple subcutaneous electrodes, or between one or more such electrodes and the housing of the pulse generator. In one embodiment, the pulse generator includes one or more electrodes that are isolated from the can. These electrodes may be used to sense cardiac signals.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de surveillance à long terme de conditions cardiaques, telles que des arythmies. L'invention concerne un générateur d'impulsions doté d'un dispositif conçu pour détecter une arythmie. Le générateur d'impulsions est couplé à au moins une électrode sous-cutanée ou un réseau d'électrodes servant à fournir une stimulation électrique, telle que des chocs de cardioversion/défibrillation et/ou des impulsions de stimulation cardiaque. La stimulation électrique peut être générée entre de multiples électrodes sous-cutanées, ou entre un ou plusieurs ces électrodes et le logement du générateur d'impulsions. Dans un mode de réalisation, le générateur d'impulsions comprend une ou plusieurs électrodes isolées du boîtier. Ces électrodes peuvent être utilisées pour détecter des signaux cardiaques.
