    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 each of different purposes. The system delivers electrical stimulation to provide therapy for angina and/or to provide therapy for co-morbidities related to neural imbalance. In one embodiment, a method for treating angina is provided. A signal is sensed indicative of an incidence of angina and an angina region being a myocardial region affected by the angina. The incidence of angina is detected and the angina region is located. A pacing location is selected remote from the angina region, and CPPT is initiated at the pacing location. The CPPT is adapted to create increased stress at the angina region, to promote mass-redistribution and angiogenesis at the angina region to treat the angina.

    摘要: According to various method embodiments, a person is indicated for a therapy to treat a cardiovascular disease, and the therapy is delivered to the person to treat the cardiovascular disease. Delivering the therapy includes delivering a vagal stimulation therapy (VST) to a vagus nerve of the person at a therapeutically-effective intensity for the cardiovascular disease that is below an upper boundary at which upper boundary the VST would lower an intrinsic heart rate during the VST.

    摘要: Various system embodiments comprise a lead having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end includes a plurality of electrodes. The lead is configured to be fed into a dorsal epidural space of a human to a desired region of a spinal column and to be fed laterally to at least partially encircle a spinal cord in the desired region to place at least one stimulation electrode in position to stimulate a dorsal nerve root and at least another stimulation electrode in position to stimulate a ventral nerve root. The desired region may include cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, or lumbar vertebrae. Some embodiments stimulate the spinal cord in the T1-T5 region.
