Abstract
A medical device system is configured to sense electrical brain activity and sense electrical cardiac activity. The system may detect a concerning heart rate from the electrical cardiac activity and determine that the concerning heart rate is a hemodynamically unstable cardiac rhythm based on the sensed electrical brain activity. The medical device system may generate an output for providing a response to determining that the concerning heart rate is a hemodynamically unstable rhythm.
Claims23
A medical device system comprising:
- sensing circuitry configured to sense electrical brain activity and electrical cardiac activity;
- processing circuitry configured to:
- detect a concerning heart rate from the sensed electrical cardiac activity;
- determine that the concerning heart rate is a hemodynamically unstable cardiac rhythm based on the sensed electrical brain activity;
- and
- generate an output comprising at least a therapy control signal for providing a response to determining that the concerning heart rate is a hemodynamically unstable cardiac rhythm;
- a memory configured to store the output generated by the processing circuitry;
- and
- a therapy delivery circuit configured to deliver an electrical stimulation therapy according to the therapy control signal.
