Cardiac pacing using sensed coronary vein blood temperature and left ventricular flow rate

摘要

Methods of cardiac pacing involve sensing left ventricular electrical rhythms, sensing left ventricular blood flow rate, and sensing a coronary vein blood temperature. The methods further involve modifying delivery of synchronized electrical signals to the patient's heart based at least in part on the sensed coronary vein blood temperature and sensed left ventricular flow rate.
