Cardiac resynchronization therapy for improved hemodynamics based on disordered breathing detection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An implantable medical device, comprising:
- a housing configured for implantation in a patient; and
a processor provided in the housing and configured to;
detect presence of sleep disordered breathing;
detect a level of cardiac dyssynchrony at least one of within and between cardiac chambers of the patient; and
identify if the patient is likely to respond to a cardiac resynchronization therapy based on the presence of disordered breathing and the level of the cardiac dyssynchrony.

Abstract
The presence of disordered breathing is detected using an implantable medical device. A cardiac condition is detected that is indicative of the patient'"'"'s cardiac status. Based on the presence of disordered breathing and the cardiac condition, the patient is identified as suitable for a cardiac resynchronization therapy.

15. A method, comprising:
-
detecting presence of sleep disordered breathing using a processor within an implantable medical device in a patient; detecting a cardiac dyssynchrony at least one of within and between cardiac chambers of the patient using the processor; and determining if the patient is likely to respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy based on a level of the cardiac dyssynchrony using the processor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
