    摘要: A computer-implemented system and method for selecting therapy profiles of electrical stimulation of cervical vagus nerves for treatment of chronic cardiac dysfunction is provided. An external programmer includes a plurality of therapy profiles stored in memory. The therapy profiles include different sets of stimulation parameters that cooperatively define alternating cycles of stimuli application and stimuli inhibition for a neurostimulator that are tuned to both efferently activate the heart's intrinsic nervous system and afferently activate the patient's central reflexes. A programming wand is configured to provide the set of stimulation parameters chosen by the user to the neurostimulator through wireless telemetry. Finally, an implantable neurostimulator device includes a stimulation therapy lead terminated by helical electrodes and electrically coupled to the neurostimulator. The implantable neurostimulator is configured to therapeutically stimulate the cervical vagus nerve through the helical electrodes by triggering bi-directional action potentials as specified by the selected set of stimulation parameters.

    摘要: A method and device for delivering ventricular resynchronization pacing therapy in conjunction with electrical stimulation of nerves which alter the activity of the autonomic nervous system is disclosed. Such therapies may be delivered by an implantable device and are useful in preventing the deleterious ventricular remodeling which occurs as a result of a heart attack or heart failure. The device may perform an assessment of cardiac function in order to individually modulate the delivery of the two types of therapy.

    摘要: A method or system for computing and/or setting optimal cardiac resynchronization pacing parameters as derived from intrinsic conduction data is presented. The intrinsic conduction data includes intrinsic atrio-ventricular and interventricular delay intervals which may be collected via the sensing channels of an implantable cardiac device. Among the parameters which may be optimized in this manner are an atrio-ventricular delay interval and a biventricular offset interval. In one of its aspects, the invention provides for computing optimum pacing parameters for patients having some degree of AV block or with atrial conduction deficits. Another aspect of the invention relates to a pacing mode and configuration for providing cardiac resynchronization therapy to patients with a right ventricular conduction disorder.

    摘要: A method for stabilizing atherosclerotic plaque with the intra-myocardial portion of a coronary artery is presented. Pacing therapy is utilized to pre-excite ventricular myocardium near the site of a plaque and thereby mechanically unload the myocardial region. Such mechanical unloading results in less deforming stress being transmitted to the plaque during ventricular systole.
