    摘要: A method and apparatus is described for preventing or reducing the ventricular remodeling that normally occurs after a myocardial infarction using pacing therapy. By pacing sites in proximity to the infarct with appropriately timed pacing pulses, the infarct region is pre-excited in a manner that lessens the mechanical stress to which it is subjected, thus reducing the stimulus for remodeling. If capture by the pacing pulses is not being achieved, the device may be configured to change the pacing pulse energy and/or pacing site as appropriate.

    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.

    摘要: A pacing system delivers cardiac protection pacing to protect the heart from injuries associated with ischemic events. The pacing system detects an ischemic event and, in response, initiates one or more cardiac protection pacing sequences each including alternative pacing and non-pacing periods. In one embodiment, the pacing system initiates cardiac protection pacing sequences including at least one postconditioning sequence to protect the heart from a detected ischemic event and a plurality prophylactic preconditioning sequences to protect the heart from probable future ischemic events.

    摘要: A device and method for delivering electrical stimulation to the heart in a manner which provides a protective effect against subsequent ischemia is disclosed. The protective effect is produced by configuring a cardiac pacing device to intermittently switch from a normal operating mode to a stress augmentation mode in which the spatial pattern of depolarization is varied to thereby subject a particular region or regions of the ventricular myocardium to increased mechanical stress.

    摘要: A cardiac rhythm management (CRM) system provides for post-myocardial infarction (MI) therapy with closed-loop control using one or more ultrasound transducers sensing one or more ultrasound signals indicative of cardiac dimensions. Cardiac size parameters are produced using the one or more ultrasound signals to represent, for example, cardiac chamber diameter, cardiac chamber volume, cardiac wall thickness, infarct size, and degree of change in any of these parameters over time or between measurements. In various embodiments, such cardiac size parameters provide for titration, safety check, and acute optimization of the post-MI therapy.
