SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PARAMETERS FOR EACH OF A PLURALITY OF VECTORS

摘要

Systems and methods for efficiently determining one or more parameters for vectors of a multi-electrode implantable medical device, and for identifying one or more suitable vectors for sensing cardiac electrical data and/or delivering electrical stimulation therapy based on one or more of the determined parameters. Reducing the time required to determine the one or more parameters for each vector can help reduce procedure time for implanting and/or configuring an implantable medical device, which can reduce costs and/or improved patient comfort.

1. A method of determining parameters for each of a plurality of vectors of a multi-electrode implantable medical device, the method comprising:
outputting one or more pacing pulses during a first period of time using a first vector of the multi-electrode implantable medical device at a first pacing voltage, wherein the first vector uses a first pair of electrodes of the multi-electrode implantable medical device; determining a first parameter during the first period of time; storing a measure related to the first parameter for the first vector; outputting one or more pacing pulses during a second period of time using the first vector at a second pacing voltage; determining a second parameter during the second period of time, wherein the second parameter is different from the first parameter; and storing a measure related to the second parameter for the first vector.
