    摘要: A method and apparatus to slow a heart rate with subthreshold electric stimulation of the SA node. Stimulation is applied at a specific time in the cardiac cycle and at a specific subthreshold level. To control the heart rate, the stimulating signal may be modified automatically based on physiologic feedbacks. Stimulation may be applied using an implantable pulse generator directly to the SA node of the heart.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for replacement of renal function by periodically removing a substantial volume of patient's blood and simultaneously replacing it with the reconstituted blood. Reconstituted blood consists of the patient's own condensed blood cells and proteins diluted with the sterile physiologic solution. As a result, small molecules and excess water are periodically removed and discarded. Blood cells and proteins are safely stored to be used at the next therapy session.

    摘要: A patient hydration system including an infusion device for administering hydration fluid to a patient, and a hydration fluid measurement device responsive to a source of hydration fluid, a patient urine output measurement device. A controller is responsive to the hydration fluid measurement device and the patient urine output measurement device. The controller operates the infusion device, in response to the patient urine output measurement device and the hydration fluid measurement device, to hydrate the patient based on the patient's urine output. The controller also monitors the operation history of the infusion device thereby providing redundancy in the measurement of the amount of hydration fluid administered to the patient.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for treating congestive heart failure, e.g., via a pulsed electric field, via a stimulation electric field, via localized drug delivery, via high frequency ultrasound, via thermal techniques, etc. Such neuromodulation may effectuate irreversible electroporation or electrofusion, necrosis and/or inducement of apoptosis, alteration of gene expression, action potential attenuation or blockade, changes in cytokine up-regulation and other conditions in target neural fibers. In some embodiments, neuromodulation is applied to neural fibers that contribute to renal function. In some embodiments, such neuromodulation is performed in a bilateral fashion. Bilateral renal neuromodulation may provide enhanced therapeutic effect in some patients as compared to renal neuromodulation performed unilaterally, i.e., as compared to renal neuromodulation performed on neural tissue innervating a single kidney.
