for internal use only How Works

for internal use only Mitral valve closure can be estimated by measuring the interatrial conduction time (P-wave duration) ¹ Onset of isovolemic contraction can be measured using the peak of the R-wave ² QuickOpt Timing Cycle Optimization Hypothesis 1 Worley, et al. “Optimization of cardiac resynchronization: left atrial electrograms measured at implant eliminates the need for echo and identifies patients where AV optimization is not possible” 2 Koglek, et al. 3 Meine, et al. “IEGM Based Method For Estimating Optimal VV Delay in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy” Europace Supplements, Vol. 6, June 2004 (#149/2)

for internal use only The IEGM estimates inter-atrial conduction delay by measuring the width of the P wave. The QuickOpt™ algorithm utilizes this measurement to calculate the optimal sensed and paced AV delays, with the goal maximizing preload and allowing for proper timing of mitral valve closure. The optimal sensed AV delay is the sum of A S (sensed P wave) and  (an added interval that allows for ventricular filling). The interval added is 30 or 60 ms, depending on the measured P Wave. A short P wave would have a longer interval added, while a longer P wave would have a shorter interval added. Electronic Optimization of Sensed AV Delays SAV opt = A S +   = 30 or 60 ms SAV is Sensed AV Delay A S is sensed P wave  is added interval ASAS  SAV opt

for internal use only Electronic Optimization of Paced AV Delays If sensed AV Delay is 110 ms then the paced AV Delay would be: 110 ms + 50 ms = 160 ms If the sensed AV Delay is 150 ms then the paced AV Delay would be: 150 ms + 50 ms = 200 ms
