    摘要: A device and method for delivering electrical stimulation to the heart in order to improve cardiac function in heart failure patients. The stimulation is delivered as high-output pacing in which the stimulation is excitatory and also of sufficient energy to augment myocardial contractility. In order to provide a consistent hemodynamic response, the high-output pacing is optimized by delivering it using different parameter sets, evaluating the hemodynamic response thereto as reflected by one or more measured physiological variables, and selecting the parameter set with the best hemodynamic response.

    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising an implantable cardiac depolarization sensing circuit, an electrical stimulation circuit, and a pacing mode controller. The pacing mode controller is configured to deliver pacing therapy according to a first pacing mode that is a normal operating mode, and to deliver pacing therapy according to second and third pacing modes. The second and third pacing modes increase mechanical stress on at least a particular portion of the ventricle as compared to the pacing therapy delivered during the first pacing mode. The pacing mode controller alternates between the second and third pacing modes when switched from the normal operating mode to a stress augmentation mode and stores a statistic related to the stress augmentation mode in a stress augmentation cycle memory area.

    摘要: Methods and devices are described for delivering electrical stimulation to the heart in a manner that advantageously redistributes myocardial stress during systole for therapeutic purposes in the treatment of, for example, post-MI and HF patients. Pre-excitation pacing may be applied to deliberately de-stress a particular myocardial region that may be expected to undergo deleterious remodeling, such as the area around a myocardial infarct or a hypertrophying region or to deliberately stress a region remote from the pre-excitation pacing site in order to exert a cardioprotective conditioning effect, similar to the beneficial effects of exercise. Pre-excitation pacing may be advantageously combined with inotropic electrical stimulation applied to the stressed region.

    摘要: A pacemaker initiates and times a monitoring interval in response to an event such as a therapy delivery to a patient. The monitoring interval is specified to include a duration of an anticipated acute response to the event, such as vagal surge. One or more physiological parameters indicative of the acute response are detected during the monitoring interval for analyzing therapeutic effect of the event. In various embodiments, one or more pacing parameters are adjusted for a response interval specified to include the duration of the anticipated acute response to allow for the analysis and maximization of the therapeutic effect. In various embodiments, the event includes a session of pacing therapy delivered according to an intermittent cardiac stress augmentation pacing protocol, and the therapeutic effect is analyzed to adjust that protocol.
