    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.

    摘要: Renal function may be modulated by an implantable device having one or more leads or catheters disposed near the kidney via the lymphatic system. In one embodiment, lymphatic drainage from the kidney is modulated to increase or decrease tubular reabsorption of salt and water. The renal function modulation therapy may be delivered in an open-loop or closed-loop fashion, with the latter dependent upon a physiological variable such as blood pressure or cardiac output.

    摘要: An external cardiac stimulation patch integrates a transcutaneous cardiac stimulation device and body-surface electrodes with a skin patch. The skin patch is to be attached onto a patient to provide for electrical contacts between the body-surface electrodes and a patient. The transcutaneous cardiac stimulation device delivers pacing pulses to the heart of the patient through pacing electrodes selected from the body-surface electrodes.

    摘要: Various system embodiments comprise a myocardial stimulator, at least one sensor adapted for use in detecting heart rate to determine heart rate turbulence (HRT), and a controller connected to the myocardial stimulator and the at least one sensor. The myocardial stimulator is adapted to deliver pacing pulses through at least one electrode to provide cardiac pacing. The controller is adapted to intermittently deliver a sequence of stress-inducing pacing pulses adapted to increase sympathetic tone during the stress-inducing pacing. The controller is further adapted to determine HRT from the detected heart rate to assess cardiac stress to the stress-inducing pacing pulses, and adjust at least one parameter of the stress-inducing pacing pulses to adjust cardiac stress if the cardiac stress to the stress-inducing pacing pulses is undesirable.

    摘要: A method and device for treating myocardial ischemia are described in which the stress experienced by a myocardial region identified as vulnerable to becoming ischemic is varied with pre-excitation pacing. In an unloading mode, pacing is applied in proximity to the vulnerable region to reduce stress and the metabolic demand of the region. In a loading mode, pacing is applied to a region remote from the vulnerable region in order to produce a conditioning effect.
