    摘要: A medical device, e.g., an implantable medical device, delivers one or more neurally-excitable stimulation pulses to myocardial tissue during a period when the tissue is refractory. The width of the pulses is less than or equal to approximately one half millisecond. In some embodiments, the current amplitude of the pulses is less than or equal to approximately twenty milliamps. In exemplary embodiments, the medical device delivers a pulse train of six or fewer pulses separated from each other by an interval that is greater than or equal to approximately ten milliseconds. In some embodiments, the medical device delivers pulses according to a schedule stored in a memory, or as a function of a monitored physiological parameter of a patient, such as an intracardiac pressure. In some embodiments, the medical device suspends or withholds delivery of neurally-excitable based on detection of cardiac ischemia.

    摘要: Methods and systems for treating patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) are disclosed which include slowing a patient's heart rate below its intrinsic rate, and controlling the rate using cardiac pacing therapy to improve LV filling and cardiac output. In certain embodiments, a pacing treatment rate may be determined by adjusting an adaptive rate by an amount determined by evaluating one or more patient parameters.

    摘要: Refractory period stimulation (RPS) disclosed herein includes apparatus and methods to enhance cardiac performance by delivering monophasic stimulation pulses during the refractory period. The disclosure describes several system level improvements to RPS that include one or more of the following: (i) Delivery of RPS therapy pulses at multiple sites in an automatically alternating way to avoid increasing demand at any one location for prolonged periods of time. (ii) Delivery of RPS therapy pulses at multiple sites to determine one or more optimal electrode configurations for chronic RPS therapy delivery. (iii) Use of separate electrode(s) for sensing ventricular activity to properly time and adjust the application of RPS thereby avoiding limitations associated with electrode polarization that occurs due to the amount of energy delivered during the RPS. (iv) Use of a relatively long active recharge pulse at the RPS stimulation electrodes to remove the undesirable effects of polarization.

    摘要: Electrical stimulation may be configured to decrease renal sympathetic activity by creating at least a partial functional conduction block in the efferent and/or afferent sympathetic nerve fibers that innervate the kidneys. An electrical stimulator may deliver a stimulation signal to a renal nerve of a patient. The stimulation signal may be a biphasic signal with a frequency of approximately 100 hertz to 20 kilohertz. In some examples, a sensor may sense a physiological parameter of the patient, and the stimulation generator may activate, deactivate, or adjust the stimulation signal based on the physiological parameter. The physiological parameter may be indicative of sympathetic activity within the patient.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for determining whether a current atrial-ventricular (AV) delay during cardiac pacing is appropriate for proper mechanical coupling of the atrium and ventricle. If proper mechanical coupling is determined to not exist, an additional atrial contraction is induced within the same ventricular cycle to maintain atrial-ventricular mechanical coupling.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting and classifying cardiac arrhythmias based on cardiac pressure signals or the combination of cardiac electrical and cardiac pressure signals. A cardiac electrogram signal is sensed to derive a cardiac rate from which an arrhythmia detection is made when the cardiac rate meets arrhythmia detection criteria. An intracardiac pressure signal is sensed to derive an indicator of tachycardia based on an analysis of the pressure signal in either the time domain or frequency domain. The detected arrhythmia is classified as tachycardia or fibrillation based on the tachycardia indicator wherein the tachycardia indicator is compared to tachycardia detection criteria and the arrhythmia is classified as tachycardia if tachycardia detection criteria are met and the arrhythmia is classified as fibrillation if the tachycardia detection criteria are not met.
