Cardiac rhythm pacing rate selection for automatic capture threshold testing
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for performing a capture threshold test, comprising:
- determining a sensor-indicated pacing rate corresponding to a patient'"'"'s sensed hemodynamic need;
selecting a test pacing rate from one of the sensor-indicated pacing rate and a non-sensor-indicated pacing rate; and
performing the capture threshold test using the test pacing rate.

Abstract
Cardiac devices and methods that select pacing rates for automatic threshold tests based on a patient'"'"'s hemodynamic need. A sensor-indicated pacing rate corresponding to a patient'"'"'s hemodynamic need is determined. A test pacing rate is selected from either the sensor-indicated rate or another rate. Capture threshold testing is performed using the selected pacing rate.

13. A cardiac rhythm management system, comprising:
-
a sensing system configured to sense cardiac signals; and
a processor coupled to the sensing system, the processor configured to determine a sensor-indicated pacing rate corresponding to a patient'"'"'s sensed hemodynamic need, select a test pacing rate from one of the sensor-indicated pacing rate and a non-sensor-indicated pacing rate, and perform a capture threshold test using the test pacing rate. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
