DEVICE FOR REGULATING HEART RATE AND HEART PUMP POWER

摘要

A device for the therapy of supraventricular and ventricular bradycardial and tachycardial disrhythmias and/or for influencing the heart pumping force, including:electrodes for electrical and/or magnetic stimulation of parasympathetic nerves which innervate the sinus node, the atria, the atrioventricular node or the ventricles;electrodes for electrical and/or magnetic stimulation of the atria and ventricles and/or for ventricular cardioversion/defibrillation;a device for producing electrical and/or magnetic stimulation pulses which are passed to the electrodes; anda device for detecting the rate at which the human atria and ventricles beat, wherein said device measures atrial and ventricular contractions.
