    摘要: A system delivers multiple enhanced therapies to limit myocardial damage post-revascularization. The system includes a catheter that incorporates features for delivering cardiac protection pacing therapy (CPPT) and intermittent ischemia therapy. In one embodiment, a method for delivering cardiac protection therapies to a heart is provided. One or more catheters are provided having a balloon, at least one pacing electrode and at least one hemodynamic sensor. Cardiac protection pacing therapy (CPPT) and intermittent ischemia therapy are concurrently delivered using the one or more catheters. The pacing and ischemia are adapted to protect the heart from ischemic and reperfusion injuries. The delivery of the CPPT and the intermittent ischemia are controlled using a closed-loop system monitoring a signal sensed by the at least one hemodynamic sensor.

    摘要: A cardiac pacing system controls the progression of a cardiac disorder such as heart failure by delivering cardiac stress augmentation pacing to create or augment regional stress in the heart according to a delivery schedule programmed for a patient. Various events associated with the patient's conditions, activities, and other treatments may render the cardiac stress augmentation pacing risky or ineffective. The system detects such events before and during each cardiac stress augmentation pacing session and modifies the delivery schedule in response to the detection of each event to ensure patient safety and therapy efficiency.

    摘要: Various embodiments intermittently deliver a sympathetic stimulus, including deliver a sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses adapted to increase sympathetic tone during the stress-inducing pacing. The stress-inducing pacing results in a parasympathetic reflex after the sequence of stress-inducing pacing. The embodiment further delivers neural stimulation to elicit a parasympathetic response or a sympathetic response in a coordinated manner with respect to the sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses. The neural stimulation is timed to elicit the parasympathetic response after the sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses and concurrent with at least a portion of the parasympathetic reflex to the sequence of stress-inducing pacing to enhance a parasympathetic effect of the parasympathetic reflex, or to elicit the sympathetic response during the sequence of stress-inducing pulses to provide a larger sympathetic stimulus, resulting in an enhanced parasympathetic reflex in response to the large sympathetic stimulus.

    摘要: A pacing system delivers cardiac protective pacing therapy (CPPT) to protect the heart from injuries and/or to treat existing injuries. The pacing system receives a set of inputs and delivers optimized cardiac protection pacing tailored for different purposes. The system delivers electrical stimulation to modulate myocardial strain for anti-atherosclerosis therapy and/or to provide therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). In one embodiment, a medical device for treating atherosclerosis is provided. The medical device includes a sensing circuit to receive sensed signals to identify areas of coronary artery disease (CAD) or areas at risk for CAD using the sensed signals. The device also includes a pacemaker circuit adapted to deliver an electrical signal through at least one electrode to a myocardial target adjacent to the identified areas. According to various embodiments, a controller communicates with the sensing circuit and controls the pacemaker circuit to provide intermittent electrical stimulation to the myocardial target to induce periods of stretch on the vessel due to induce myocardial strain changes. The stimulation is targeted to attenuate or prevent atherosclerosis associated with the CAD, according to various embodiments.
