  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ISCHEMIC/INFARCTED REGIONS AND THERAPY OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20120277607
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for detecting and localizing areas of myocardial infarction or ischemia. By pacing sites in proximity to the infarcted or ischemic region with appropriately timed pacing pulses, the region is pre-excited in a manner that lessens the mechanical stress to which it is subjected, thus reducing the metabolic demand of the region and the stimulus for remodeling.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 9, 2012
    Publication date: November 1, 2012
    Inventors: Shantha Arcot-Krishnamurthy, Allan C. Shuros, Jiang Ding, Yinghong Yu, Michael J. Stucky, Chris Hartemink
