Patent number: 8391984Abstract: A system is described for detecting and/or treating depression that may be incorporated into an implantable device such as a cardiac rhythm management device. The device may determine that depression is present by analysis of heart rate variability measured using the cardiac sensing channels of the device and/or by detection of blood-borne factors that are associated with depression. If depression is detected, the device may be configured to automatically delivery therapy such as neuromodulation and/or drug delivery.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventor: Helen L. Reeve

Patent number: 8016783Abstract: A drug delivery system detects a cardiac condition indicative of a need for increasing a cardiac metabolic level and, in response, releases a drug into tissue or blood to shift a source of metabolically synthesized energy fueling cardiac contraction from fatty acid to glucose. One example of such a system includes an implantable device detecting an ischemia and a transdermal drug delivery device delivering a drug when an ischemic condition is detected. Another example of such a system includes one or more implantable devices detecting a predefined change in cardiac metabolic level and delivering a drug when the change is detected. Such systems are applied to treat, for example, patients suffering ischemia and/or heart failure and patients having suffered myocardial infarction.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Joseph M. Pastore, Julio C. Spinelli, Helen L. Reeve, Jeffrey Ross, Rodney W. Salo, Allan Shuros
