  • Patent number: 8634911
    Abstract: A left-ventricular pacing interval and a right-ventricular pacing interval for timing the delivery of pacing pulses to a left ventricle and a right ventricle of a heart, respectively, may be based an intrinsic conduction time interval between at least one of an atrial sensing event or an atrial pacing event of an atrial chamber of a heart and a ventricular sensing event of a ventricular chamber of the heart. In some examples, the left-ventricular pacing interval is based on the time interval, where the left-ventricular pacing interval is less than the time interval. In some examples, the right-ventricular pacing interval is based on the time interval, where the right-ventricular pacing interval is greater than the left-ventricular pacing interval and less than the time interval.

  • Patent number: 8440697
    Abstract: The invention relates to perhexiline, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in the treatment of HfnEF, as well as to a method of treating HfnEF, which comprises administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of perhexiline, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to treat said HFnEF. The invention further relates to a treatment program for treating HFnEF, which involves the co-use or co-administration of perhexiline with one or more other compounds that are advantageous in treating HFnEF or the symptoms thereof.
