    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for monitoring muscle function based on an index derived from a pressure or force signal. The muscle function index is derived from an instantaneous muscle stiffness ratio computed as the ratio of the first time derivative of the pressure or force waveform to the corresponding instantaneous pressure or force. The instantaneous stiffness ratio, Ė/E(t), is in units of 1/sec and relates to the rate of strong bond formation and will be influenced by calcium handling properties of the muscle fibers and the intracellular calcium concentration. As such, an index derived from Ė/E(t) provides a measure of the inotropic status of the muscle.

    摘要: A system and associated method deliver a respiration therapy. Stimulation pulse trains are delivered to activate a first portion of a patient's diaphragm at an established intended induced respiration rate during a time interval. Stimulation pulse trains are delivered to activate a second portion of a patient's diaphragm at a second rate during the time interval, the second rate being different than the first rate.

    摘要: A system and associated method deliver a respiration therapy. Stimulation pulses are delivered to activate a right portion of a patient's diaphragm and to activate a left portion of a patient's diaphragm. A control processor determines dyssynchrony of a respiratory response to the stimulation pulses and adjusts a stimulation control parameter controlling the delivering of the stimulation pulses in response to dyssynchrony of the respiratory response.

    摘要: A method includes estimating a cardiac signal of a patient, estimating a length of a cardiac refractory period based in part on the cardiac signal and selectively adjusting the length of phrenic nerve electrical stimulation to be delivered to the patient based on the estimated length of the cardiac refractory period. In some examples the method includes delivering phrenic nerve stimulation for approximately the entire refractory period. The phrenic nerve stimulation may be used to treat a variety of breathing disorders.

    摘要: Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is reduced or eliminated. A medical electrical lead is implanted to deliver high voltage therapy to a fibrillating heart. Another medical electrical lead delivers electrical stimulation through an electrode proximate phrenic nerve tissue in response to the delivery of high voltage therapy to the fibrillating heart.
