Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cardiac pacing system controls the progression of a cardiac disorder such as heart failure by delivering cardiac stress augmentation pacing to create or augment regional stress in the heart according to a delivery schedule programmed for a patient. Various events associated with the patient's conditions, activities, and other treatments may render the cardiac stress augmentation pacing risky or ineffective. The system detects such events before and during each cardiac stress augmentation pacing session and modifies the delivery schedule in response to the detection of each event to ensure patient safety and therapy efficiency.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cardiac pacing system, comprising: a pacing output circuit adapted to deliver pacing pulses; and a pacing control circuit coupled to the pacing output circuit and adapted to control the delivery of the pacing pulses, the pacing control circuit including: a memory circuit storing a delivery schedule specifying timing for initiating stress augmentation pacing sessions each including a session duration during which the pacing pulses are delivered using pac…
