System and method to monitor ejection time and QT interval to alert patients before syncopal events
Abstract:
An implantable medical device and associated method predict syncope based on detecting a change in ejection time. A physiological signal is sensed that is responsive to mechanical changes associated with the cardiac ejection phase. A time interval corresponding to cardiac ejection time is detected from the physiological signal. A sudden change in the time interval is used as a predictor of syncope and causes a patient alert to be generated in response to the detected change.
