    摘要: A first electrode is positioned within an artery proximate an implanted intravascular stent. A second electrode is positioned at a separate location relative the position of the first electrode. Electrical energy is then delivered between the first and the second electrodes to produce an electrical field adjacent the implanted intravascular stent. When a intravascular stent is implanted in a coronary artery, the delivery of the electrical energy is coordinated to cardiac cycles detected in sensed cardiac signals, where the delivery of the electrical energy between the first electrode and the second electrode occurs during a predetermined portion of the cardiac cycle.

    摘要: A method for operating a cardiac rhythm management device in which a clinical state vector is computed as a combination of a plurality of parameters related to a patient's heart failure status and compared to a previously computed clinical state vector to determine a clinical trajectory indicative of changes in the patient's heart failure status. Such detected changes in status can be used both as a clinical tool to evaluate treatment and to automatically adjust the operation of the device.

    摘要: An implantable system for detecting electrical activity from a patient's heart comprises a first sensing electrode configured for positioning through the coronary sinus ostium and within a vein on the left surface of the left ventricle of the heart for sensing electrical activity from the heart, and a detector operatively associated with the first sensing electrode for determining (e.g., diagnosing or prognosing) a medical condition of the heart with the sensed electrical activity. Typically the system further comprises a second sensing electrode configured for positioning in the right ventricle of the heart, where the detector is operatively associated with both the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode. The second sensing electrode may be positioned in other locations as well, such as also within a vein on the left surface of the left ventricle of the heart (although spaced apart from the first sensing electrode), in the right atrium, in the superior vena cava, etc. Finally, a third sensing electrode may also be included, with the third electrode positioned in any of the foregoing locations (again, spaced apart from the first and second electrodes), with the detector operatively associated with all of the first, second, and third sensing electrodes. Determination of a medical condition may be carried out by any suitable means, such as by detecting premature beats in the heart. The method is particularly useful for identifying the chamber of premature beat origin.

    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.
