Medical monitoring and treatment device with external pacing
First Claim
1. A non-invasive ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device comprising:
- a garment worn about a torso of a patient;
at least one therapy electrode disposed in the garment and configured to be in contact with the patient'"'"'s skin;
a plurality of ECG sensing electrodes disposed in the garment at a plurality of locations on the patient'"'"'s body;
a memory storing ECG information indicative of the patient'"'"'s cardiac activity, the ECG information obtained from the plurality of ECG sensing electrodes;
circuitry for implementing a plurality of pacing routines, each pacing routine of the plurality of pacing routines corresponding to at least one cardiac condition of a plurality of cardiac conditions; and
at least one processor coupled to the circuitry and configured to;
identify, within the ECG information, at least one cardiac condition of the plurality of cardiac conditions; and
respond to the identified cardiac condition in part by causing execution of at least one pacing routine corresponding to the identified cardiac condition.

12. A method of treating cardiac dysfunction using a non-invasive ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device having at least one treatment electrode and implementing a plurality of pacing routines, the method comprising:
-
monitoring, by the non-invasive ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device, information indicative of a patient'"'"'s cardiac condition; identifying, by the non-invasive ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device, within the information a cardiac condition from a plurality of cardiac conditions; and responding to the identified cardiac condition at least in part by executing, by the non-invasive ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device, at least one pacing routine of the plurality of pacing routines, the at least one pacing routine associated with the identified cardiac condition. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A non-invasive ambulatory medical monitoring and treatment device comprising:
-
at least one therapy electrode; at least one ECG sensing electrode; a memory storing ECG information indicative of a patient'"'"'s cardiac activity, the ECG information obtained from the at least one ECG sensing electrode; circuitry for implementing at least one pacing routine corresponding to a cardiac condition; and at least one processor coupled to the circuitry and configured to; identify, within the ECG information, the cardiac condition; execute the at least one pacing routine corresponding to the identified cardiac condition, the at least one pacing routine including at least one pacing pulse to be applied via the at least one therapy electrode; determine whether the at least one pacing routine resulted in capture at least in part based on the ECG information; and adjust, responsive to determining that capture did not result, at least one characteristic of at least one pacing pulse applied during subsequent execution of the at least one pacing routine. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
