    摘要: Cardioprotective pacing is applied to prevent and/or reduce cardiac injury associated with cardiac catheterization or surgery. Pacing pulses are generated from a pacemaker and delivered through one or more pacing electrodes incorporated onto one or more devices used in the cardiac catheterization or surgery. The pacemaker controls the delivery of the pacing pulses by executing a cardioprotective pacing protocol. In one embodiment, the one or more pacing electrodes are incorporated onto an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter. In another embodiment, the one or more pacing electrodes are incorporated onto one or more cardiac surgical instruments such as a heart stabilizer and a sternal retractor.

    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: A transcutaneous cardiac stimulation system delivers pacing pulses according to a cardioprotective pacing protocol. The pacing pulses are delivered through body-surface electrodes attached onto a patient. The cardioprotective pacing protocol specifies pacing parameters selected to augment cardiac stress on the patient's myocardium to a level effecting cardioprotection against ischemic and reperfusion injuries.
