ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process for the determination of criterion of a frequent presence or of the gravity of atrial and/or ventricular extra-systoles in an active implantable medical apparatus. The signals corresponding to cardiac events in at least one cardiac cavity are detected and the occurrence of extra-systoles are detected. At the detection of every extra-systole, a ponderation (i.e., weight or magnitude of increment) is attributed to the extra-systole, and a count of extra-systoles with the attributed ponderation applied for the detected extra-systole is made. The count also is decremented at each detected cardiac cycle not having a detected extra-systole, such that the decrement also may have an associated ponderation. The count thus provides a criterion of extra-systole frequency and gravity (seriousness).
