  • Method and apparatus for automatic, adaptive, active facilitation to assess myocardial electrical instability
    Patent number: 5694943
    Abstract: A method and apparatus continuously, automatically, and adaptively facilitate the electrical activity of a patient's heart by pulsing the heart with current. The method and apparatus further continuously, automatically, and adaptively monitor the resulting electrical activity of the patient's heart to assess the patient's likelihood for myocardial electrical instability. The method comprises the steps of injecting current across the patient's heart, monitoring the patient's electrocardiogram for the effects of these current pulses, and adapting the current pulses continuously and automatically to maximize the effects, thereby assessing a patient's likelihood of sudden cardiac death.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 1996
    Date of Patent: December 9, 1997
    Assignee: Clontz Corporation
