    Abstract: An implantable sensing device includes a sensing element and a mounting element. The mounting element has a first end and a second end with a longitudinal axis therethrough. The sensing element is positioned at the first end of the mounting element with the mounting element having a length that is adjustable along the longitudinal axis. The mounting element includes a sleeve having a first open end and a second open end with the longitudinal axis therethrough. The sensing element is positioned in the second open end and includes a lead body connected thereto extending through the second open end. The sleeve includes an outer sleeve member coupled for adjustment along the longitudinal axis with respect to an inner sleeve member. Further, the mounting element may include a flexible element about the first open end extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis and a flange element extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis from at least a portion of the second end. The device can be implanted in a bone with the flange element and the flexible element for direct or indirect contact with the anterior and posterior surface of the bone. A method of implanting the sensor includes providing a sensing element and drilling a hole in a bone. The hole extends to the intrathoracic cavity. The sensing element is inserted into the hole and positioned in communication with a region in the intrathoracic cavity. The hole is drilled in the manubrium. When the flexible element is inserted into the hole, the flexible element about the first open end collapses towards the longitudinal axis and when the sensor mounting assembly is removed from the hole, the flexible element collapses towards the longitudinal axis during removal. Methods for providing stimulation of a patient to treat respiratory disorders using the sensor are also provided as are stimulation systems for providing stimulation of a patient to treat respiratory disorders.

    Abstract: A cardiac assist device having muscle augmentation after a confirmed arrhythmia. In particular the present invention operates, in a first embodiment, to sense a cardiac event, next it determines whether the cardiac event is a cardiac arrhythmia, if the event is not a cardiac arrhythmia the devices delivers stimulation to a skeletal muscle grafted about a heart, but if the event is a cardiac arrhythmia the device inhibits delivery of skeletal muscle stimulation and once the arrhythmia is confirmed, then delivers therapeutic stimulation to the heart. In a second embodiment the present invention operates to re-initiate skeletal muscle stimulation once the arrhythmia is confirmed but prior to the delivery of the therapeutic stimulation to the heart.

    Abstract translation: 心脏辅助装置在经确认的心律失常后具有肌肉增强。 特别地，本发明在第一实施例中操作以感测心脏事件，接下来，它确定心脏事件是否是心律失常，如果事件不是心脏心律失常，则装置向围绕心脏移植的骨骼肌递送刺激 但是如果事件是心律失常，则该装置抑制骨骼肌刺激的传递，并且一旦心律失常得到确认，则向心脏递送治疗刺激。 在第二个实施方案中，本发明一旦确认了心律失常，但是在将治疗刺激递送到心脏之前，就重新启动骨骼肌肉刺激。
