  • Publication number: 20240325767
    Abstract: An extra-cardiovascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) having a high voltage therapy module is configured to control a high voltage charging circuit to charge a capacitor to a pacing voltage amplitude to deliver charge balanced pacing pulses. The capacitor is chargeable to a shock voltage amplitude that is greater than the pacing voltage amplitude. The ICD is configured to enable switching circuitry of the high voltage therapy module to discharge the capacitor to deliver a first pulse having a first polarity and a leading voltage amplitude corresponding to the pacing voltage amplitude for pacing the patient's heart via a pacing electrode vector selected from extra-cardiovascular electrodes. The high voltage therapy module delivers a second pulse after the first pulse. The second pulse has a second polarity opposite the first polarity and balances the electrical charge delivered during the first pulse.

  • Publication number: 20240166626
    Abstract: The ?2-adrenergic receptor (?2AR) is a primary target in the treatment of airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Since ?-agonist treatment of airway disease can have severe side effects, compounds that attenuate the side effects of ?-agonists have been identified via their ability to inhibit ?2AR interaction with ?-arrestins. These compounds are specific for the ?2AR and effectively protect against the desensitization observed with ?-agonist treatment in model cells and airway tissue. The present disclosure provides compounds and methods for treating airway disease, such as but not limited to COPD and/or asthma.
