    摘要: An apparatus for determining heart transplant rejection of a heart in a patient includes at least two electrodes adapted to be sewn into the heart that span the left ventricle. The apparatus includes a voltage generator adapted to be inserted in the patient which generates a voltage to the two electrodes and senses the resulting voltage from the two electrodes. A method for determining heart transplant rejection of a heart in a patient. A pacemaker for a patient (including bi-ventricular pacing and AICDs). The pacemaker includes an RV lead having four electrodes adapted to be inserted into the RV apex. The pacemaker includes a voltage generator which generates a voltage signal to the electrodes and senses the instantaneous voltage along the length of the RV and determines the real and imaginary components to remove the myocardial components of the septum and RV free wall to determine absolute RV blood volume. The pacemaker includes a battery connected to the voltage generator. The pacemaker includes a defibrillator connected to the battery. The pacemaker can also be a bi-ventricular pacemaker to restore RV and LV synchrony during contraction. A method for assisting a heart of a patient.

    摘要: An apparatus for treating a heart of a patient includes a first lead and at least a second lead for pacing the heart adapted to be in electrical communication with the heart. The apparatus includes a microcontroller in communication with the first and second leads which triggers the first lead at either different times or the same time from when the microcontroller triggers the second lead. Alternatively, the apparatus includes a microcontroller in communication with the first and second leads that determines heart volume, including stroke volume, end-systolic volume, and calculated values including ejection fraction, from admittance from signals from the first and second leads and uses the admittance as feedback to control heart volume ejected, as measured by stroke volume, calculated values such as ejection fraction, and control end-systolic volume, with respect to the first and second leads. A method for treating the heart of a patient.
