Multi-chamber pacing system

摘要

A multi-chamber pacing system has a pulse generator for successively delivering pacing pulses to chambers of a patient's heart. Evoked response detectors having blanking intervals following the delivery of pacing pulses include sensing elements for sensing IEGM-signals from each of the heart chambers and an integrating unit that integrates the IEGM-signal within evoked response detection time windows after delivery of pacing pulses for detecting evoked response. The evoked response detection time window for a heart chamber contain at least one blanking interval resulting from delivery of a pacing pulse to another chamber and each of the sensed IEGM signals having a generally known morphology. An integral reconstructing unit reconstructs the time integral of the IEGM signal from one of the heart chambers in the blanking interval following delivery of a pacing pulse to another heart chamber.
