CARDIAC SIGNAL VECTOR SELECTION WITH MONOPHASIC AND BIPHASIC SHAPE CONSIDERATION

摘要

Systems, methods and non-transient software media for performing sensing vector selection in an implantable cardiac device by assessing biphasic or monophasic characteristics of the cardiac signal in vectors under analysis. A factor associated with the biphasic or monophasic nature of the cardiac signal, as seen from a given sensing vector, can be inserted into the assessment of which of several available sensing vectors is considered “best” for purposes of cardiac signal analysis. Additional factors may be considered beyond the biphasic or monophasic nature including the quantity of turning points or inflections and amplitude variability.
