    摘要: This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising at least one implantable cardiac depolarization sensing circuit, an electrical stimulation circuit, and a pacing mode controller. The implantable cardiac depolarization sensing circuit is configured to obtain a sensed depolarization signal from a ventricle and the electrical stimulation circuit is configured to provide pacing electrical stimulation energy to at least one implantable ventricular electrode. The pacing mode controller delivers pacing therapy according to a first pacing mode that is a normal operating mode, and delivers pacing therapy according to second and third pacing modes. The second and third pacing modes increase mechanical stress on at least a particular portion of the ventricle as compared to the pacing therapy delivered during the first pacing mode. The pacing mode controller alternates between the second and third pacing modes when switched from the normal operating mode to a stress augmentation mode.

    摘要: A pacemaker initiates and times a monitoring interval in response to an event such as a therapy delivery to a patient. The monitoring interval is specified to include a duration of an anticipated acute response to the event, such as vagal surge. One or more physiological parameters indicative of the acute response are detected during the monitoring interval for analyzing therapeutic effect of the event. In various embodiments, one or more pacing parameters are adjusted for a response interval specified to include the duration of the anticipated acute response to allow for the analysis and maximization of the therapeutic effect. In various embodiments, the event includes a session of pacing therapy delivered according to an intermittent cardiac stress augmentation pacing protocol, and the therapeutic effect is analyzed to adjust that protocol.

    摘要: A method and device for treating myocardial ischemia are described in which the stress experienced by a myocardial region identified as vulnerable to becoming ischemic is varied with pre-excitation pacing. In an unloading mode, pacing is applied in proximity to the vulnerable region to reduce stress and the metabolic demand of the region. In a loading mode, pacing is applied to a region remote from the vulnerable region in order to produce a conditioning effect.
