IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE WITH CIRCULATION DELAY MEASUREMENT AND THERAPY CONTROL
摘要
<p>Oxygen saturation data is monitored during a predefined window to obtain a measurement of circulation delay. The measured circulation delay is used as a basis for determining therapies, including overdrive pacing. In some embodiments, circulation delay is used to identify patients that will benefit from overdrive pacing as a therapy for sleep disordered breathing.</p>
