    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating mitral or tricuspid regurgitation with electrical stimulation. By providing pacing stimulation to a selected region of the left ventricle, such as one in proximity to the mitral valve apparatus in a manner which pre-excites the region during early ventricular systole, a beneficial effect is obtained which can prevent or reduce the extent of mitral regurgitation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating mitral or tricuspid regurgitation with electrical stimulation. By providing pacing stimulation to a selected region of the left ventricle, such as one in proximity to the mitral valve apparatus or papillary muscles in a manner that pre-excites the region during early ventricular systole, a beneficial effect is obtained which can prevent or reduce the extent of mitral regurgitation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for linear stimulation of the heart to resynchronize contraction for improved hemodynamic benefit. Linear stimulation may be accomplished using a linear source, which may comprise an elongated electrode or plurality of electrodes arranged so as to linearly stimulate the heart. A linear source may be coupled to the left ventricle, and one or more additional electrodes may be positioned so as to stimulate a separate region of the left ventricle or one or more additional chambers of the heart as well. Application of an electrical stimulus by the linear source may function to stimulate a larger region of the heart, thereby enhancing the resynchronization effect as well as providing other hemodynamic benefits.

    摘要: Devices and methods for therapy control based on electromechanical timing involve detecting electrical activation of a patient's heart, and detecting mechanical cardiac activity resulting from the electrical activation. A timing relationship is determined between the electrical activation and the mechanical activity. A therapy is controlled based on the timing relationship. The therapy may improve intraventricular dyssynchrony of the patient's heart, or treat at least one of diastolic and systolic dysfunction and/or dyssynchrony of the patient's heart, for example. Electrical activation may be detected by sensing delivery of an electrical stimulation pulse to the heart or sensing intrinsic depolarization of the patient's heart. Mechanical activity may be detected by sensing heart sounds, a change in one or more of left ventricular impedance, ventricular pressure, right ventricular pressure, left atrial pressure, right atrial pressure, systemic arterial pressure and pulmonary artery pressure.

    摘要: A drug delivery system detects a cardiac condition indicative of a need for increasing a cardiac metabolic level and, in response, releases a drug into tissue or blood to shift a source of metabolically synthesized energy fueling cardiac contraction from fatty acid to glucose. One example of such a system includes an implantable device detecting an ischemia and a transdermal drug delivery device delivering a drug when an ischemic condition is detected. Another example of such a system includes one or more implantable devices detecting a predefined change in cardiac metabolic level and delivering a drug when the change is detected. Such systems are applied to treat, for example, patients suffering ischemia and/or heart failure and patients having suffered myocardial infarction.
