Publication number: 20240299751Abstract: Brugada syndrome and related forms of ion channelopathies, including ventricular asynchrony of contraction, originate in the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions of the heart. Manifestations of Brugada syndrome can be corrected by delivering endocardial electrical stimulation coincident to the activation wave front propagated from the atrioventricular (AV) node early enough to compensate for the conduction problems that start in those regions. The stimulation can be delivered in multiple modes and can include waveforms of the same polarity delivered to a site within the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions of the heart associated with a low cardiac electrical asynchrony level or can include at least two single-phased superimposed waveforms of opposite polarity delivered through a pair of pacing electrodes relative to a reference electrode, which can be delivered to any site within the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Daniel Felipe Ortega, Luis Dante Barja

Patent number: 11717690Abstract: Brugada syndrome and related forms of ion channelopathies, including ventricular asynchrony of contraction, originate in the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions of the heart. Manifestations of Brugada syndrome can be corrected by delivering endocardial electrical stimulation coincident to the activation wave front propagated from the atrioventricular (AV) node. By performing the start of the activation of the HIS bundle or para-Hisian region early enough, electrical stimulation can be delivered fast enough to compensate for the conduction problems that start in those region, such that the activation wave front, as stimulated, transitions from the AV node to the His bundle in a normal, albeit electrically-supplemented, fashion. This stimulation not only helps resolve the conditions that trigger Brugada syndrome, but also resolves the asynchrony of the contraction of the heart.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: NewStim, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Felipe Ortega, Luis Dante Barja

Patent number: 10065042Abstract: One embodiment provides a system for cardiac stimulation optimization utilizing cardiac asynchrony and pulse pressure data. The system includes: an analysis circuitry to receive cardiac signals collected at two locations of a patient's heart during an application to the heart of stimulation in accordance with multiple (VV) delay intervals, calculate an asynchrony index for the VV delay intervals, and determine one of the VV intervals as optimal based on the asynchrony index for that VV interval; an implantable stimulation device to cycle through the VV intervals while applying the stimulation, and further configured to cycle through atrioventricular (AV) delay intervals while applying additional stimulation in accordance with the optimal VV delay interval; and an arterial pulse pressure sensor to measure arterial pulse pressure during the application of the additional stimulation, wherein the analysis circuitry determines one of the AV delay intervals as optimal based on the arterial pulse pressure measured.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: XSynchro, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Felipe Ortega, Julio César Spinelli, Maria Paula Bonomini, Luis Dante Barja
