Definitions
- the invention relates to an electromedical implantable or extracorporeal applicable device for organ treatment and for organ monitoring and a method for therapeutic organ treatment.
- Electro-medical devices for the treatment and monitoring (diagnosis) of the heart are known. Due to the fact that the activation of the muscle cells of the heart is triggered by electrical voltages (potentials, currents), devices have been developed which make it possible to measure and visualize these voltages (potentials, currents) of the heart.
- An important application of such a voltage or potential measurement is the electrocardiogram (ECG), with which the electrical excitation process of the heart is made visible. Any contraction of the heart is triggered by electrical stimulation of the heart muscle cells. The course of the electrical excitation is therefore an image of the contraction course. by virtue of The electrical conductivity of the body can be deduced measurements of the excitation of the skin surface. These measurements can be used to diagnose arrhythmias, heart attacks, heart enlargement, etc. Therapy of the heart with the help of the ECG is not possible.
- defibrillators are known, which are used for rhythmizing a tachycardiac or flickering heart. These are used when rhythm disturbances are so pronounced that the pumping power of the heart is no longer sufficient.
- the electrical current impulses that can be delivered by the defibrillators are delivered from outside (skin surface of the thorax) via surface electrodes (patches) or from the inside via transvenous electrodes when the defibrillator has been implanted.
- the ECG can be measured via the electrodes, which are used for shock delivery, in order to release the shocks ECG synchronously with the ECG.
- implantable defibrillators can also take on the function of a pacemaker and be used for bradycardic rhythm therapy.
- heart failure itself is not treatable with these systems.
- Pacemakers can take over the function of the sinus node as a pulse generator or replace other nodes in the conduction system of the heart.
- Single-chamber pacemakers only act as impulses in the right ventricle and / or atrium, but can not provide therapy for heart failure.
- Dual-chamber pacemakers are the right and left ventricles of the heart can stimulate through impulses. These have a favorable effect on the function of the left ventricle of the heart, if in this the conduction is interrupted or delayed. They thus improve the function of the heart, because the stimulation of the left ventricle stimulates cardiac muscle cells in the stimulation area and thus causes them to contract, which are no longer detected by the natural excitement. Dual-chamber pacemakers improve the function of the heart through impulse delivery, but can not trigger heart failure therapy in the sense of curing the disease.
- the invention is based on the object to offer an electro-medical implantable or externally applicable device, can be stimulated with the healing processes in diseased organs.
- the device should be programmable and allow telemetric communications. Since tissue impedances are altered by the healing process, the device should be able to measure them.
- the inventive electromedical implantable or extracorporeal applicable device for organ treatment and organ monitoring contains an electrical micro-roströme and / or electromagnetic energy generating and receiving, programmable generator and receiver unit, which is conductively connected to electrodes, one integrated in the generator and receiver unit Telemetry unit with transmitter and receiver for data exchange with extracorporeal devices and a power supply unit.

- the units are arranged partially or completely extracorporeally.
- the electrodes are designed to deliver electrical or electromagnetic energy to the tissues of the heart or other organs and to receive signals from them.
- the electrodes are advantageously combined with sensors that can measure the wall motion of the heart. It is furthermore advantageous that electrodes of pacemakers or defibrillators can be used as electrodes for the micro-current delivery.
- the generator or receiver unit prefferably be designed with cardiac pacemakers or defibrillators as a combination, e.g. in the same housing, creating a functionally new entity that can stimulate stimulation or contribute to the rhythm of the heart (defibrillator) while releasing micro-currents that can be used to heal the heart.
- the electrodes are designed so that they are also applicable for stimulation by pacemakers or defibrillators.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that, in order to regulate and modify collagen (I and III) in the intracellular region of an organ, the organ tissue is exposed to microcurrents or electromagnetic energy.
- a further embodiment provides that the use of electrical microcurrents regulates the content of proinflammatory cytokines (for example interleukin-6 content).
- proinflammatory cytokines for example interleukin-6 content.
- a further embodiment provides that by using the electrical microcurrents and electrical or electromagnetic fields of the MMP (metalloproteases) - and the TIMP (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases) content is regulated.
- MMP metaloproteases
- TIMP tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases
- a further embodiment provides that growth hormones are regulated by the use of electrical microcurrents and electric or magnetic fields.
- the device according to the invention electrical currents or voltages are advantageously applied or applied to the organ, which act in such a way that the extracellular matrix or even the cells of the organ are e.g. be favorably influenced by the buildup, dismantling or remodeling of collagens.
- the currents or voltages may be both direct and alternating voltage or currents, which may be transmitted in pulsed form.
- the device according to the invention is designed so that the electrical or electromagnetic energy is transmitted via special implantable electrodes. Power is supplied to the device with a rechargeable battery when the system's power consumption with regular batteries only allows for lifetimes of less than two years.
- the device according to the invention is telemetrically programmable, whereby the success of the current therapy can be checked by the device itself and transmitted telemetrically by measuring impedances of the tissue and by measuring other parameters, for example directly at the heart, such as ECG and wall movement.
- the same electrodes are used, via which the electrical energy is delivered to the tissue.
- the sensors which measure the wall movements of the heart, are attached directly to the heart muscle. Depending on the movement of the heart wall, measurable electrical signals are emitted.
- a further advantage of the invention is that the results of the therapy and the treatment by means of modern telecommunications can be transmitted worldwide to a competent body, from which also the monitoring of the patient takes place.
- the device according to the invention can be combined with other forms of therapy of cardiac insufficiency, e.g. be combined with a heart support system.
- the device according to the invention can be applied both internally (implantable unit) or externally via skin electrodes.
- the size of the implanted part corresponds approximately to that of a cardiac pacemaker.
- the form of current to be applied depends on the type of disease or is based on the results of the tissue examination of the heart muscle or other organs.
- the applied currents are in the range of 0.001 and 10 inA.
- a further advantage of the invention is that the vitality of the cells of an organ tissue is maintained under the microcurrent action, which is confirmed by the detection of conexin 40, 43 and 45.
- 1 shows an arrangement of an implanted variant in the heart area in the view from the front
- 2 shows an arrangement of an implantable variant with a view from the side
- Fig. 3 shows an external variant of the device according to the invention with a view from the front and
- Fig. 4 shows an external variant of the system with a view from behind.
- Heart failure is characterized in that the physiological ability of the heart to pump blood is limited. This only affects the onset of the disease under stress conditions. In the advanced stage of the disease, this is also observed under resting conditions.
- a generally accepted classification of the stages of heart failure is the classification of NYHA (New York Heart Association), in which the heart failure is divided into four stages.
- the aim of the treatment of heart failure is to improve the function of the heart or to delay a functional deterioration as long as possible.
- bi-ventricular pacing resynchronization treatment is often used, and in the later stages the treatment of choice is cardiac transplantation or implantation of a cardiac assist system or cardiac replacement system.
- Treatment with electrical microcurrent or with electromagnetic energy is a new method of treatment of heart failure. This treatment can be used in all stages of heart failure.
- the Application of microcurrent or electromagnetic energy can be carried out in various ways, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- a front electrode 4 and a back electrode 5 which directly surround a heart 2 of a patient 1, or externally via electrodes placed on the skin in the heart region.
- the application of magnetic energy can be done without direct skin contact.
- the direct internal application is carried out as follows:
- the front and rear electrodes 4 and 5 directly surrounding the heart 1 are positioned around the heart 1. This can be done by opening the thorax by median stomotomy, by lateral access, or during cardiac surgery performed for other reasons (e.g., bypass surgery, heart valve surgery, implantation of a cardiac assist system, heart transplantation, etc.).
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show the patient 1 with an implanted generator and receiver part 3, with an implanted telemetry unit 6 and a power supply unit 7 in a schematic representation while in FIGS. 3 and 4 the generator and receiver part 3, the telemetry unit 6 and the power supply unit 7 are arranged outside the patient 1.
- the front electrode 4 and the back electrode 5 are made of highly flexible plastic (eg silicone) with an electrically conductive side, which is aligned to the heart side.
- highly flexible plastic eg silicone
- the electrodes that contain permanent magnets or small coils that can build up a magnetic field.
- electric fields corresponding electrodes are used.
- the electrodes are then electrically connected to an implant, which is placed comparatively like a pacemaker in a thoracic or abdominal pocket.
- Another way to place the electrodes is by sub-xyphoid access to the heart, which eliminates the need to open the thorax.
- the electrodes can be placed intrapericardially or extrapericardially. This approach is preferred in patients who do not require further heart surgery and who have no pericarial adhesions.
- the implant that generates the necessary electrical signals is preferably placed in an abdominal pocket in this approach.
- Electrodes used for stimulation or defibrillation may be used. If implantable mono- or biventricular pacemakers or defibrillators equipped with a microcurrent generator are used, the same electrodes can be used for microcurrent application and for stimulation or defibrillation.
- electrically conductive electrodes are brought into direct contact with the skin in an electrically conductive manner.
- the electrodes are placed so that the largest possible area of the heart is detected by microcurrent. This can By electrodes, which are only frontal or by electrodes, which are additionally placed on the back. Magnetic electrodes or electrodes for electric fields can also be used without direct skin contact.
- the generator 3 is switched on via the telemetry 6 (FIGS. 1 and 2) located in the implant and the corresponding current shape is selected.
- the success of the procedure is controlled by regular monitoring of contractility of the heart muscle, the function (ejection fraction, ejection fraction) of the heart, the size of the left and right ventricles, and the wall velocity by means of echocardiography.
- the duration of treatment depends on the improvement achieved with echocardiography.
- the application of the method should be carried out until after an optimization of the current strength and current shape and frequency no improvement of the heart is observed.
- microcurrent or electromagnetic energy can be used to reduce rejection.
- the method is used in the same way as in patients with heart failure as described above.
- the method can be used to treat liver, lung and kidney diseases associated with a loss of function or fibrosis of the organ. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
