摘要：
A cardiac assist device having muscle augmentation after a confirmed arrhythmia. In particular the present invention operates, in a first embodiment, to sense a cardiac event, next it determines whether the cardiac event is a cardiac arrhythmia, if the event is not a cardiac arrhythmia the devices delivers stimulation to a skeletal muscle grafted about a heart, but if the event is a cardiac arrhythmia the device inhibits delivery of skeletal muscle stimulation and once the arrhythmia is confirmed, then delivers therapeutic stimulation to the heart. In a second embodiment the present invention operates to re-initiate skeletal muscle stimulation once the arrhythmia is confirmed but prior to the delivery of the therapeutic stimulation to the heart.
