  • Blood pressure controlling apparatus, non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing control program of blood pressure controlling apparatus, and method for controlling blood pressure
    Patent number: 11969597
    Abstract: A blood pressure controlling apparatus includes an acquiring part configured to acquire biological information indicating blood pressure of a subject, a producing part configured to produce a frequency modulated pulse train on the basis of the biological information, and a supplying part configured to supply an electrical current on the basis of the frequency modulated pulse train, to an electrode attached on the subject. The electrical current stimulates baroreceptor afferent nerves of the subject.

    Date of Patent: April 30, 2024
    Assignee: Kyushu University, National University Corporation
    Inventors: Keita Saku, Kenji Sunagawa, Takeshi Tohyama, Kazuya Hosokawa, Takafumi Sakamoto
  • Control apparatus for treating myocardial infarction and control method for treating myocardial infarction
    Patent number: 11338143
    Abstract: A stimulation control unit that outputs a stimulation signal for reducing a myocardial workload to an electrode for stimulation inserted in a blood vessel running in the vicinity of the vagus nerve of a patient in order to stimulate the vagus nerve; a detecting unit that detects first biological information and second biological information of the patient; a setting unit that sets threshold information for determining a normal range of the first biological information and second biological information; and a determining unit that determines whether or not values of the detected first biological information and second biological information are within the normal range determined in the threshold information; where the stimulation control unit adjusts the intensity of the stimulation signal such that the values of the first biological information and second biological information are within the normal range, and the value of the second biological information is reduced by a predetermined ratio or more as compar
