HEART ATTACK DETECTOR
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an implantable trigger event detector, adapted to detect at least one first condition and to output a responsive trigger signal including information about whether the first condition has been detected; and
an implantable ischemia detector, adapted to detect a second condition indicative of one or more physiologic cardiovascular events in a subject that are indicative of ischemia, wherein the ischemia detector is coupled to the trigger event detector to receive the trigger signal, and wherein the ischemia detector is enabled upon the trigger signal indicating that the first condition has been detected.

Abstract
A system including an implantable trigger event detector and an implantable ischemia detector. The implantable trigger event detector is adapted to detect at least one first condition and to output a responsive trigger signal including information about whether the first condition has been detected. The implantable ischemia detector is adapted to detect a second condition indicative of one or more physiologic cardiovascular events in a subject that are indicative of ischemia. The ischemia detector is coupled to the trigger event detector to receive the trigger signal, and the ischemia detector is enabled upon the trigger signal indicating that the first condition has been detected.

20. A method comprising:
-
sensing one or more sensor signals produced by implantable sensors, each sensor signal including physiologic cardiovascular information; determining at least one first condition; and enabling detection of a second condition related to one or more physiologic cardiovascular events in a subject that are indicative of myocardial ischemia upon detecting the first condition. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
