Abstract: A stimulation device that stimulates living tissue includes an energy harvesting circuit that receives an output signal from another device and that powers the stimulation device, immediately or otherwise, using the output signal. The stimulation devices also includes a stimulation circuit that generates a stimulation signal to elicit a predetermined response from the living tissue, and at least one lead that delivers the stimulation signal to the living tissue.

Abstract: Sensors are applied to the heart and sensor data is supplied to a rules engine. The rules engine applies rules that reflect a CRM pharmaceutical regime of the patient to the sensor data to determine whether an electrical waveform should be applied to the heart. When electrical stimulation is warranted, the drug “awareness” rules are used by the rules engine to instruct a multi-phase cardiac stimulus generator to generate an electrical waveform that improves the performance of the drugs administered to the patient, allow the patient to be administered a lower dose of a particular drug, and/or reduce or eliminate side effects from the drugs.

Abstract: A rules engine acquires sensor data from sensors applied to the heart to determine the presence of a rapid heartbeat. The rules engine applies rules to the sensor data to determine whether to deliver an electrical waveform to a vagus nerve. The rules engine further determines whether an electrical waveform should be applied to the heart and, if so, the type of electrical waveform.

Abstract: A rules engine acquires sensor data from sensors applied to the heart and determines whether an electrical waveform should be applied to the heart and, if so, the type of electrical waveform. A multiphase cardiac stimulus generator generates waveforms in response to the rules engine. The electrical waveform is applied to one or more electrodes implanted in or on the heart.
