  • Multi-site ventricular pacing therapy with parasympathetic stimulation
    Patent number: 8571655
    Abstract: A method and device for delivering multi-site ventricular pacing therapy in conjunction with parasympathetic stimulation for reducing ventricular wall stress. Such reduction in ventricular wall stress is useful in reversing or preventing the ventricular remodeling which can occur in heart failure patients.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 26, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2013
    Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.
    Inventors: Joseph M. Pastore, Zoe Harris-Hajenga, Julio C. Spinelli

  • Rate-adaptive pacemaker with compensation for long-term variations in average exertion level
    Patent number: 7155280
    Abstract: A rate-adaptive pacemaker is disclosed in which a sensor-indicated rate is calculated by adding a function of the measured exertion level to a programmed lower rate limit. In the case where the function of the measured exertion level is the difference between a short-term average and a long-term average of the measured exertion level, the lower rate limit is modulated as a function of the long-term average of the measured exertion level and maximum and minimum values of the long-term average of the measured exertion level during a defined extended time period.
