    摘要: According to various embodiments of a method for modulating autonomic neural activity in a body having a spinal cord, a subclavian vein and thoracic lymphatic vessels that include a thoracic duct and a right lymphatic duct, at least one programmed therapy is implemented using an implanted medical device to modulate autonomic neural activity. Implementing the therapy includes increasing or decreasing sympathetic activity in sympathetic nerves branching from a first region of the spinal cord using a first electrode in the thoracic duct, and further includes increasing or decreasing parasympathetic activity in parasympathetic nerves adjacent to the desired thoracic lymphatic vessel or sympathetic activity in sympathetic nerves branching from a second region of the spinal cord using a second electrode in the desired thoracic lymphatic vessel.

    摘要: A pacing system delivers cardiac protective pacing therapy (CPPT) to protect the heart from injuries and/or to treat existing injuries. The pacing system receives a set of inputs and delivers optimized cardiac protection pacing tailored for each of different purposes. The system delivers electrical stimulation to provide therapy for angina and/or to provide therapy for co-morbidities related to neural imbalance. In one embodiment, a method for treating angina is provided. A signal is sensed indicative of an incidence of angina and an angina region being a myocardial region affected by the angina. The incidence of angina is detected and the angina region is located. A pacing location is selected remote from the angina region, and CPPT is initiated at the pacing location. The CPPT is adapted to create increased stress at the angina region, to promote mass-redistribution and angiogenesis at the angina region to treat the angina.

    摘要: A pacing system delivers cardiac protective pacing therapy (CPPT) to protect the heart from injuries and/or to treat existing injuries. The pacing system receives a set of inputs and delivers optimized cardiac protection pacing tailored for different purposes. The system delivers electrical stimulation to modulate myocardial strain for anti-atherosclerosis therapy and/or to provide therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). In one embodiment, a medical device for treating atherosclerosis is provided. The medical device includes a sensing circuit to receive sensed signals to identify areas of coronary artery disease (CAD) or areas at risk for CAD using the sensed signals. The device also includes a pacemaker circuit adapted to deliver an electrical signal through at least one electrode to a myocardial target adjacent to the identified areas. According to various embodiments, a controller communicates with the sensing circuit and controls the pacemaker circuit to provide intermittent electrical stimulation to the myocardial target to induce periods of stretch on the vessel due to induce myocardial strain changes. The stimulation is targeted to attenuate or prevent atherosclerosis associated with the CAD, according to various embodiments.
