    摘要: Methods and devices for delivering cardiac therapy to a patient are provided. Various implantable device embodiments comprise a plurality of leads and a controller. The leads include at least one lead to be positioned within a lead path to deliver ventricular pacing pulses and to deliver neural stimulation at a site proximate to the heart to inhibit sympathetic nerve activity. The controller controls delivery of the ventricular pacing pulses in accordance with a programmed pacing mode and controls delivery of the neural stimulation. The controller is programmed to deliver remodeling control therapy (RCT) by delivering ventricular pacing to pre-excite a ventricular myocardium region to mechanically unload that region during systole, and further is programmed to deliver anti-remodeling therapy (ART) by delivering neural stimulation to inhibit sympathetic nerve activity in conjunction with RCT. Other embodiments are provided herein.

    摘要: A method and device for delivering ventricular resynchronization pacing therapy in conjunction with electrical stimulation of nerves which alter the activity of the autonomic nervous system is disclosed. Such therapies may be delivered by an implantable device and are useful in preventing the deleterious ventricular remodeling which occurs as a result of a heart attack or heart failure. The device may perform an assessment of cardiac function in order to individually modulate the delivery of the two types of therapy.

    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.
