Implantable cardioverter defibrillator having a smaller displacement volume
TL;DR: In this paper, a capacitor-discharge implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is used to deliver a maximum defibrillation countershock optimized in terms of a minimum physiologically effective current (I pe ), rather than a minimum defibrilation threshold energy (DFT).
Patent
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator having a smaller mass
TL;DR: In this article, a capacitor-discharge implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has been used to deliver a maximum defibrillation countershock optimized in terms of a minimum physiologically effective current (Ipe), rather than a minimum threshold energy (DFT), and a significant decrease in the maximum electrical charge energy must be stored by the capacitor of the ICD to less than about 30 Joules, even though a higher safety margin is provided for by the device.
Patent
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator having a smaller energy storage capacity
TL;DR: In this article, a capacitor-discharge implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was used to deliver a maximum defibrillation countershock optimized in terms of a minimum physiologically effective current (I pe ) rather than a minimum threshold energy (DFT).
Patent
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator system having independently controllable electrode discharge pathway
TL;DR: In this article, an implantable multichamber cardioversion and defibrillation system is provided with multiple independently controllable and programmable switched electrode discharge pathways, which allows for control over the polarity, phase, direction and timing of all cardioversion countershocks, and allows for the varying of subsequent countersshocks after an initial countershock.
Patent
R-wave detection method for implantable cardioverter defibrillators
TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude of the previous R-wave is used to determine a declining threshold of sensitivity used to recognize a subsequent electrical signal as an R-Wave, and a desirable time constant for the declining threshold is provided as an exponential or reverse exponential decay.
