Patents by Inventor Emanuela Marcelli

Emanuela Marcelli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Heart stimulation device with electrotonic inhibition
    Publication number: 20010018600
    Abstract: Electrodes can generate electrical stimulation pulses at least one first intensity level and at least one second intensity level. The first and second intensity levels are above and below a given stimulation threshold, respectively. The synchronous or asynchronous delivery of second-level pulses enables the conduction of the atrioventricular node to be modulated by electrotonic effect, for example, to reduce ventricular frequency in the event of atrial fibrillation.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 10, 2001
    Publication date: August 30, 2001
    Applicant: Sorin Biomedica Cardio S.p.A.
    Inventors: Gianni Plicchi, Bruno Garberoglio, Guido Gaggini, Emanuela Marcelli
  • Implantable defibrillator apparatus
    Publication number: 20010016758
    Abstract: An implantable defibrillator apparatus having a plurality of defibrillation electrodes which can be applied to the heart muscle in order to apply electric defibrillation shocks thereto, and defibrillation-control means for selectively applying respective electric defibrillation shocks to the electrodes preferably sequentially in time and in synchronism with the QRS.
