  • System and method for increasing left ventricular torsion by multi-point pacing
    Patent number: 11819695
    Abstract: A method for increasing left ventricular torsion by multi-point pacing includes fitting a plurality of pacemaker points at an epicardium of a heart such that the plurality of pacemaker points are positioned proximate an apex of a left ventricular muscle of the heart and sequentially pacing the plurality of pacemaker points. The left ventricular muscle of the heart twists in response to the sequential pacing. A system for implementing multi-point ventricular pacing is also provided.
