本发明涉及医疗器械技术领域,特别涉及一种脉冲刺激装置、方法及医疗设备。
现有市场上的CCM(心肌收缩调节)装置是一种独立、植入的、结构复杂且昂贵的设备,基本用于慢性心衰患者。其中采用两个双极导线植入部位为右心室室间隔,用于感知局部心肌的电位和在感知后的一定时间(绝对不应期内)发放心脏刺激脉冲,以增加心肌收缩力。此时心肌刺激不是直接作用在左心室,而左心室是最需要增加收缩力的心室。尽管用于右心室室间隔的CCM对心脏收缩力和心功能有整体影响(包括左心室收缩力),但研究表明这种整体影响不是直接的,而是通过对右心室室间隔的局部刺激产生的对局部心肌造成的影响带动来的。
目前的CCM刺激仅用于针对慢性心力衰竭患者的植入式设备,通过对右心室室间隔的单一部位刺激以达到对慢性心衰病人的长期治疗;然而当患者的心功能急剧恶化,血压下降时(如急性心衰发作),患者不需要或没有长期使用植入式装置,或只需要相对较短时间对心脏功能支持直至病因消除和/或心功能恢复,则现有的植入式CCM以及其单一部位刺激无法满足急性和/或短期支持(对心脏/循环支持的时间和程度),而提供急性和短期(天)心脏/循环支持对患者的生存(如心衰急性发作)至关重要,或在急诊情况下复苏的患者,如急诊室或救护车中,任何一点额外(药物以外的)的心脏循环支持对患者都可能意味着“生或死”。

本发明的积极进步效果在于:
(1)在左右心室多个部位放置控制电极(如对应刺激和/或起搏功能),实现对多部位提供同时或顺序的心脏电刺激(CCM),以提供心脏循环支持;相比现有的单纯对右心室室间隔刺激的方式,能更有效地提升对患者心脏的整体收缩力,尤其是左心室。针对急性心衰和/或短期心室功能明显下降的患者,多部位刺激能够更好地增强心脏收缩力,改善心脏射血功能。比如,对于刚接收心脏外科手术的病人,通过在其左、右心室心肌中不同位置(如心外膜表面的左心室前/后侧位、室间沟、右心室游离壁等)植入导线。在其他病人,可在右心室内(如在室间隔,心尖或游离壁)内经静脉放置导线和/或在左心室内膜(如室间隔、心尖或游离壁)经房间隔或动脉或左心室心外膜表面(通过放置在冠状静脉或动脉中的电极)放置导线等。
(2)心脏电刺激(CCM)方式(机制,时间等):a.刺激机制为多部位心脏电刺激的机制(同步或顺序),如在一个心动周期里全部电极部位都触发刺激(同步刺激),或在多个心动周期里按照设定或随机顺序完成对每个电极部位的触发刺激(顺序刺激);b.触发机制为由代表局部心室肌电活动的R波感测和/或代表整体心室肌电活动的R波感测的时间为触发点。当为后者时,整体和局部心室肌电R波的时间关系成为触发时间中的一部分。刺激方式(机制,时间等)可以根据实际情况进行动态调节以适应患者不断变化的心率和整体心脏状况,即能够跟随每个患者自身的心脏动态变化状态进行适配调整,以有效提高心脏功能提高的效果。
(3)CCM传输可以通过简单的单极导线实现,而不是必需在一个心脏位置使用两个单极导线或双极导线,从而简化了系统结构,降低了成本。

心脏刺激脉冲发生器2用于根据每个脉冲发放时间发放心脏刺激脉冲至每个对应的控制电极3。
在一可实施的方案中,R波感测模块用于获取体表心电图和/或基于控制电极获取心肌心电图,并分别根据心肌心电图获取R波出现的第一R波感测时间以及体表心电图获取R波出现的第二R波感测时间;
需要说明的是,本实施例心肌心电图获取R波出现的第一R波感测时间,和体表心电图获取R波出现的第二R波感测时间对应同一心跳。
为了保证脉冲刺激的有效性,所有R波(即心肌心电图中的R波和体表心电图中的R波)都是在同一心跳下感知到的;也即,心肌心电图获取R波出现的第一R波感测时间和体表心电图获取R波出现的第二R波感测时间,两个R波感测时间之间的时间差值必须小于一定值,这样才有脉冲刺激的实际意义,否则无法保证脉冲刺激的可靠性。R波感测模块还用于第一R波感测时间计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的第一脉冲发放时间;其中,一旦第一R波感测时间确定后,对应的第一脉冲发放时间也就确定(即是预设的时间),不会发生变化。
R波感测模块还用于根据第一R波感测时间和第二R波感测时间计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的第二脉冲发放时间。
心脏刺激脉冲发生器用于根据第一脉冲发放时间和/或第二脉冲发放时间发放心脏刺激脉冲至控制电极。
本实施例中的脉冲刺激过程中,(1)可以以体表心电图中R波为主进行心脏刺激脉冲发放,即每个电极刺激发出时间以体表心电图的R波感测时间为触发时间的零点;(2)可以以心肌心电图中R波为主进行心脏刺激脉冲发放,即每个电极刺激发出时间以其心肌心电图的R波为触发时间的零点;(3)同时基于体表心电图中R波和心肌心电图中R波进行心脏刺激脉冲发放;具体采用这三种中的具体某种触发机制可以根据实际电刺激需求进行选择或实时调整。
另外,为了进一步地提高心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制效果,当体表ECG感知不良时可以直接转到基于EGM触发;或,当有一个位置的EGM感知不良时可以直接转到基于ECG触发,即避免了因误感知或者感知不良等特殊状况造成无法持续脉冲刺激,及时有效地保证了疗法持续进行。
在一可实施的方案中,R波感测模块1用于根据第一R波感测时间和预设时长计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的第一脉冲发放时间。
对于电极3采集的心肌心电图(EGM),第一脉冲发放时间为心肌心电图EGM的R波感应时刻作为参考零点(或称触发点)的预设时长(LPD),该预设时长通常默认为40ms,且该时长值可以根据实际需求调整。每个部位或位置的LPD(即第一脉冲发放时间)用 于在该部位或位置相对心肌心电图R波感知时刻触发CCM发送的时间。
R波感测模块1还用于计算得到第二R波感测时间和第一R波感测时间之间的第一时间差值,并根据第一时间差值和预设时长脉冲发放时间计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的以第二R波感测时间作为参考零点(或称触发点)的第二脉冲发放时间。
获取心肌心电图中R波出现的第一R波感测时间,计算预设刺激位置对应的第一脉冲发放时间;获取体表心电图中R波出现的第二R波感测时间,根据第一R波感测时间和第二R波感测时间计算得到预设刺激位置对应的第二脉冲发放时间,进而基于第一脉冲发放时间和/或第二脉冲发放时间进行脉冲发放,即提出基于心肌心电图中R波、体表心电图中R波确定脉冲发放时间的方案,有效地保证了脉冲刺激的及时性和可靠性。
也就是说,以EGM R波触发的CCM,每个刺激位置从R波到发送的时长是固定的(如预设时长40ms)。以ECG R波触发的CCM,每个刺激位置的时长是不固定,不一样的(即由固定的预设时长40ms、根据位置变化的时间差值决定)。
参见图2所示,在病人窦性心律时,对于体表心电图ECG,首先计算体表心电图ECG的感测R波对应时刻和局部心肌心电图EGM的感测R波对应时刻之间的时间差(GLSD),该时间差表征对应心肌部位/位置的心肌电活动相对整个心脏电活动的时间敏感值;以体表心电图ECG的感测R波时刻为触发的脉冲发放时间(GPD)将为对应时刻GLSD和心肌心电图脉冲发放时间LPD相加,即GPD=GLSD+LPD。另外,每个部位对应的GLSD和GPD可在几个自身心跳时测量并平均得到(默认为5个连续自身心跳,范围从3到12)。每个部位或位置的GPD(即第二脉冲发放时间)用于在该部位或位置相对体表心电图R波感知时刻触发CCM发送的时间。本实施例中该步骤称为预设期(set-up period)。
在一可实施例的方案中,心脏刺激脉冲发生器用于在得到每个位置的第二脉冲发放时间后,保持第一时间差值,以保持根据第二脉冲发放时间发放心脏刺激脉冲至对应的控制电极。
即本实施例中,在计算得到第二脉冲发放时间后,无需每次电刺激输出前都再次计算,可以由体表心电图来直接触发电刺激输出时间,而不需要每次都通过感测心肌心电图的R波来触发,从而在达到心电刺激效果的同时,有效地缩短了数据处理耗时,提高了心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制效率。
在一可实施例的方案中,本实施例的装置还包括时间更新模块。
时间更新模块用于定期或者不定期的更新第一时间差值,以基于更新后的第一时间差值更新第二脉冲发放时间;
心脏刺激脉冲发生器用于根据更新后的第二脉冲发放时间发放心脏刺激脉冲至对应 的控制电极。
即本实施例中,可以根据实际需求定期或不定期的更新第二脉冲发放时间(此时可以继续或停止心肌电刺激),然后根据更新后的触发时间继续进行心肌电刺激,以实现更灵活的电刺激效果,满足更多的脉冲电刺激场景需求。
本实施例中通过刺激位置以及刺激机制的设置,达到加强或最大化对心脏的循环支持的效果。
当然,本实施例中CCM刺激的控制方案在某些特殊情况下需要自动暂停实施,例如在检测到患者的心率过快时(比如高于120次/分钟),有PVC(心室早搏)等,以保障患者的心脏刺激支持的安全性。
本实施例中,在左右心室多个部位放置控制电极(如对应刺激和/或起搏功能),实现对多部位提供心脏电刺激CCM;相比现有的单纯对右心室室间隔刺激的方式,能更有效地提升对患者心脏的整体收缩力,尤其是左心室。针对急性心衰和/或短期心室功能明显下降的患者,多部位刺激能够更好地增强心脏收缩力,改善心脏射血功能。
实施例2
如图3所示,本实施例的脉冲刺激装置是对实施例1的进一步改进,具体地:
本实施例的脉冲刺激装置还包括脉冲控制模块5,脉冲控制模块5与心脏刺激脉冲发生器2通信连接。
脉冲控制模块5用于生成脉冲发放模式并发送至心脏刺激脉冲发生器2。
心脏刺激脉冲发生器2用于在体表心电图或心肌心电图中出现R波时,基于脉冲发放模式和脉冲发放时间发放心脏刺激脉冲至每个对应的控制电极3。
通过在脉冲控制模块中预先设置不同的脉冲发放模式,在实际脉冲发放场景中,可以根据操作人员人为选取、预设某一固定的脉冲模式或者随机选取等方式确定脉冲发放模式,以自动地实现对不同的预设刺激位置的脉冲发放。当然还可以根据实际需求对脉冲发放模式进行动态调整。
在一可实施的方案中,脉冲发放模式包括基于体表心电图和/或心肌心电图中的R波,同步、按照设定或随机顺序向每个预设刺激位置对应的控制电极发放心脏刺激脉冲。
在设定或随机顺序下,向对应的预设刺激位置处连续发放心脏刺激脉冲以达到预设心跳次数。
脉冲发放模式由体表心电图的整体(global)R波还是各部位的本地(local)R波来触发,发放机制,即同步、按照设定或随机顺序向每个预设刺激位置发放心脏刺激脉冲,或预设期(set-up period),即对于每个电极位置对应的GLSD的测量和计算等。
通过同步、按照设定或随机顺序等方式进行脉冲发放,达到尽可能满足各种脉冲发放需求,以满足更多脉冲刺激场景,在保证了对患者脉冲刺激的有效性的同时,提升了患者的使用体验。
对位置或部位的CCM刺激可以在同一R波后的按照每个部位相应时间“同时”(即同一心动周期里)触发传递(称为同步),也可以在多个R波上的多个部位依次传递等;按照设定顺序传输时,CCM刺激在R波后在一个部位按照该部位相应时间后触发传递,然后在下一个R波后在下一个部位传递,依此类推,直到所有部位都被覆盖传输。在同一R波后,可能有1个或多个部位按照每个部位相应时间出现CCM刺激(但不是所有部位,否则是同步)。另外,接收CCM刺激的特定部位序列可以是专门设计(可由医生等相关权限工作人员程控),也可以是随机的。在顺序传递时,每个预设部位的刺激次数可为一次或多次(比如6次,即六个心动周期),然后再转到下个预设部位刺激,以此类推。
在一可实施的方案中,脉冲控制模块还用于基于设定数量的预设刺激位置,采用设定构建规则或者随机组合方式,生成不同的预设刺激位置对应的刺激组合;
其中,刺激组合包括至少两个刺激单元,且至少一个刺激单元对应两个及以上同步执行脉冲发放的预设刺激位置;
脉冲发放模式包括基于体表心电图和/或心肌心电图中的R波,根据设定或随机顺序以及刺激组合,向对应的预设刺激位置的控制电极发放心脏刺激脉冲。
在设定或随机顺序下,向对应的预设刺激位置处连续发放心脏刺激脉冲以达到预设心跳次数。
不再将每个预设刺激位置单独考虑,而是基于多个预设刺激位置形成不同的刺激组合,对于同一刺激组合对应的不同预设刺激位置同步发放脉冲,不同的刺激组合采用设定或随机顺序的脉冲发放方式进行脉冲刺激,以满足更多的脉冲刺激场景需求,进一步地保障了患者的安全性。
另外,在一可实施例的方案中,脉冲刺激装置对应两根导线4,一根导线的电极位于右心室室间隔(右心室室间隔作为心内膜位置)或位于/靠近心室前或心室后室间沟(作为心外膜位置);另一根位于左心室前外侧壁(心外膜或心内膜位置)。
在一可实施例的方案中,脉冲刺激装置对应三根导线4,一根的电极位于右心室室间隔(右心室室间隔为心内膜位置)或位于/靠近心室前或心室后室间沟(作为心外膜位置);一根位于左心室后外侧壁(心外膜或心内膜位置),另一根位于左心室前外侧壁(心外膜或心内膜位置)。
当然,还可以根据不同的患者的病情,心脏相关手术情况,对循环支持的需求及对CCM刺激需求重新规划导线4的数量以及预设植入位置。
在一可实施例的方案中,本实施例的导线4包括单极导线或双极导线,心脏刺激脉冲通过导线4传输至对应部位。(1)当使用单个单极导线时,CCM在与心肌接触的单极电极和患者身体其他地方的电极之间进行传递。此时,单极电极可为心腔或血管内其他电极导线上的电极,体表ECG电极或用于外部除颤的体表贴片电极;或是植入皮肤下的电极(如S-ICD)或植入心脏的电极等。或者,可通过其他特殊设计的电极来获得。(2)若使用多个单极导线时,CCM可以在两个与心肌接触的单极电极之间传递,其中一个是阴极,另一个是阳极。(3)若使用双极导线时,只有一个电极与心肌持续接触(如右心室室间隔导线4),CCM可在两个电极之间传递或作为单极导线(与心肌接触的电极)形式传递,类似于单极设置。(4)比如左心室心外膜电极,CCM可以在两个电极之间或分别作为两个单极导线传递。(5)可以同时使用单极导线和双极导线,这样就存在多种可能性组合,具体如何组合可以根据实际需求进行确定与调整。
下面结合实例具体说明本实施例的脉冲刺激装置的工作原理:
(1)在刚接受开胸心脏手术的病人的心外膜表面,具体在心外前或后壁的室间沟(靠近心室室间沟区)、左心室后外侧壁和左心室前外侧壁植入三根双极导线4;同时提供当前患者的体表心电图;这三根导线与体表心电图一起连接到外部电循环支持设备,即脉冲刺激装置的R波感测模块1;
(2)在预设期(set-up period),R波感测模块1分别用于感测体表心电图(ECG)的R波感测时间(GS)和心肌心电图EGMs的R波感测时间LS(LS1、LS2、LS3),具体参见图2;根据GS、LS(LS1、LS2、LS3)和LPD计算出每个部位的GLSD和GPD(GLSD1和GPD1、GLSD2和GPD2、GLSD31和GPD3),其中GLSD=LS-GS,GPD=GLSD+LPD;
(3)心脏刺激脉冲发放模式(触发R波来源,同步或顺序,以及顺序中的特定顺序或随机,所有医生可程控),基于心脏刺激脉冲发放模式、LPD和GPD为一个或多个部位生成心脏刺激脉冲,如图4所示;
(4)一旦连接设备将经历一个设置过程,包括感测R波(GS&LS)和计算每个部位(三根导线中的每根导线所在的位置)的GLSD&GPD,在此GLSDn&GPDn中,n=1、2和3。最好在窦性心律期间进行,同时无CCM发送。然后,如果是体表ECG的R波触发模式,CCM将在感测到表面ECG的R波后按照每个位置相应的GPD以同步模式(在同一心跳(R波))或顺序模式(例如CCM在R波1后传递到部位1,在R波2后 传递到部位2,在R波3后传递到部位3(一个接一个)或以随机顺序传递/触发CCM。
类似地,CCM可以由每个部位的本地R波来触发,同步或顺序地进行(局部/本地R波模式)。
另外,在CCM的发送持续了特定的跳动次数或持续时间(默认为3600次跳动或60分钟,可编程)后,设置过程将再次启动,以适应由于心率和/或患者状况(比如用药后)变化引起的参数(比如GLSD等)的潜在变化。另外,CCM发送也可以根据更新的参数继续。
通过上述心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制方式的支持,可以满足急性和/或短期,以及单一部位电刺激能够达到心脏需要的循环支持的患者的使用需求,特别对于心功能较弱(比如心排量较低)不适合或不放心做心脏手术的病人等,能够有效加强术后心功能,使得患者能够更快恢复,对患者进行及时有效地心脏需求支持;同时在该技术的支持下,也帮助患者以及医生做相关手术提升了信心;另外,现有基于药物增强心脏收缩力的方式往往存在副作用(比如心律失常,心肌氧耗量增加等,并可能增加死亡率),而本实施例的心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制方式基本没有相关副作用(心率,氧耗量基本不变),且能够达到电刺激更及时有效、实现更好地提高心脏收缩力的效果。
本实施例中,在左右心室多个部位放置控制电极(如对应刺激和/或起搏功能),实现对多部位提供同步或顺序的心脏电刺激CCM;CCM刺激的触发机制由局部心电活动的R波感应和/或整体心电活动的R波感应的时间决定,且触发方式可以根据实际情况进行动态调节以适应患者不断变化的心率和整体心脏状况,即能够跟随每个患者自身的心脏动态变化状态进行适配调整,以有效提高CCM刺激控制效果,实现更好的心脏收缩力,更好地满足急性和/或短期,以及单一部位电刺激能够达到心脏需要的循环支持的患者的使用需求。
实施例3
本实施例的脉冲刺激装置是对实施例2的进一步改进,本实施例为考虑一个控制电极执行起搏操作的CCM刺激场景,具体地:
对于起搏时的CCM刺激场景,存在如下两种情况:a)起搏是由独立电极发放的,此时心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制原理与上述表述内容一致,不会受到影响;b)起搏是由CCM刺激电极发放时,主要针对提供CCM刺激的电极又要提供起搏(起搏时被认定为对应LS1的电极位置),而其他剩余电极位置(只提供CCM刺激)的工作原理与上述表述内容一致。对于提供起搏的CCM刺激电极,起搏时的LS1就是起搏脉冲发放时间,预设时长需要延长到40-100ms,优选60-80ms(也可程控调节)。在这两种情况下,预 设期都需要测量二次,一次测量时间是检测自身心率(窦率)时,另一次测量时间是起搏时。
具体地,在一个控制电极执行起搏操作时,R波感测模块还用于在一个预设刺激位置进行起搏时,获取其他所有剩余的预设刺激位置对应的心肌心电图,并获取心肌心电图中R波出现的新的第一R波感测时间以及体表心电图中R波出现的新的第二R波感测时间;
R波感测模块还用于基于新的第一R波感测时间和预设时长计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的新的第一脉冲发放时间;
R波感测模块还用于计算得到新的第二R波感测时间和每个预设刺激位置的新的第一R波感测时间之间的新的第一时间差值,并以新的第二R波感测时间为参考零点,根据新的第一时间差值和预设时长计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的新的第二脉冲发放时间。
本实施例中,在通过一个控制电极执行起搏时,在该脉冲刺激场景下,需要重新计算新的心肌心电图中R波以及体表心电图中R波中的R波感测时间,继而分别计算对应的第一脉冲发放时间以及第二脉冲发放时间,以实现该场景下的脉冲刺激的及时发放。
实施例4
本实施例的脉冲刺激装置是对实施例2的进一步改进,具体地:
R波感测模块用于在多个预设刺激位置获取心肌心电图中出现R波对应的多个第一R波感测时间,选取一个第一R波感测时间作为参考零点,计算得到在参考零点之后的每个第一R波感测时间与参考零点之间的第二差值,并根据第二差值和预设时长计算得到每个预设刺激位置对应的第一脉冲发放时间。
其中,R波感测模块用于从多个第一R波感测时间中出现时间中随机选取出一个第一R波感测时间,或选取出现时间最早的第一R波感测时间作为参考零点。根据实际经验,一般优先选取出现时间最早的第一R波感测时间作为参考零点。
本实施例中,选取出现时间最早的第一R波感测时间(LS)作为参考零点,其他时间靠后的刺激位置的发放时间以此为基础,计算与其的差值并加上预设时长,就可以得到每个脉冲刺激位置的脉冲发放时间,从而达到不依赖于体表心电图,仅基于心肌心电图即可完成脉冲的及时有效发放,使得脉冲刺激的控制过程更加灵活,能够适应于更多的使用场景。
实施例5
本实施例的脉冲刺激方法采用实施例1的脉冲刺激装置实现。
如图5所示,本实施例的脉冲刺激方法包括:
S101、获取体表心电图和/或基于控制电极采集心电信号以获取心肌心电图;
S102、根据体表心电图和/或心肌心电图获取对应的R波出现的R波感测时间;
S103、根据R波感测时间确定每个预设刺激位置对应的脉冲发放时间;
S104、根据每个脉冲发放时间发放心脏刺激脉冲至每个对应的控制电极。
本实施例的脉冲刺激方法对应的实现原理与实施例1-4中任意一个实施例的脉冲刺激装置对应的工作原理对应,因此在此就不再赘述。
通过上述心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制方式的支持,可以满足急性和/或短期,以及单一部位电刺激能够达到心脏需要的循环支持的患者的使用需求,特别对于心功能较弱(比如心排量较低)不适合或不放心做心脏手术的病人等,能够有效加强术后心功能,使得患者能够更快恢复,对患者进行及时有效地心脏需求支持;同时在该技术的支持下,也帮助患者以及医生做相关手术提升了信心;另外,现有基于药物增强心脏收缩力的方式往往存在副作用(比如心律失常,心率加快,心肌氧耗量增加等,并可能增加死亡率),而本实施例的心脏刺激脉冲触发的控制方式基本没有相关副作用(心率,氧耗量基本不变),且能够达到电刺激更及时有效、实现更好地提高心脏收缩力的效果。
实施例6
本实施例的医疗设备包括实施例1-4中任意一个实施例中的脉冲刺激装置。
医疗设备可以仅包括脉冲刺激装置,用于各种导线配置;还可以集成到或作为其他系统的附件。这样的医疗设备可以包括但不限于以下内容:
(1)临时起搏系统:ECS功能可添加到临时起搏系统中,该系统通常用于在上述患者群体中提供心动过缓起搏。ECS可以将用于起搏的控制电极作为CCM刺激电极的一部分,也可独立于CCM的刺激电极,这样对临床实践的影响最小,但可以提供额外的临床益处,或者在需要更好的CCM引起的收缩改善的位置使用额外的导线。
(2)提供急性/短期或慢性(长期)机械循环支持的部分或全部植入式装置:可将适当的导线和/或心肌电极(在所需位置)添加到此类系统以提供ECS以及其他功能,例如心动过缓起搏、ATP和除颤。
(3)外部除颤器系统:如可穿戴式除颤器、AED或用于急诊室和/或救护车的除颤器。CCM可以在感测到体表ECG的R波之后经由皮肤电极(例如除颤电极)来提供。只有ECS电路可能需要添加到现有设备设计中或者出于这种目的,可以将单独的ECS单元与当前设备连接。当患者处于电击后严重心动过缓或心脏停搏时或处于机电分离(EMD)时,ECS功能可能会对病人心脏功能恢复提供更有效的帮助。
(4)S-ICD系统:R波感测可通过非心肌接触电极(如右心室sub-Q电极对)的ECG或具有右心室无导线起搏器的S-ICD的右心室EGM来实现,从而触发S-ICD里的CCM刺激并经subQ defib电极和/或无导线起搏器电极来传递。当患者处于电击后严重心动过缓或心脏停搏时或处于机电分离时,此功能可能会对病人心脏功能恢复提供更有效的帮助。
本实施例的医疗设备包含上述的脉冲刺激装置,实现对多部位提供心脏电刺激CCM,相比现有的单纯对右心室室间隔刺激的方式,更有效地提升了患者心脏的整体收缩力,尤其是左心室,从而能够很好地适用于急性和/或短期心室功能明显下降的患者,大大地提升了医疗设备的整体产品性能。
虽然以上描述了本发明的具体实施方式,但是本领域的技术人员应当理解,这些仅是举例说明,在不背离本发明的原理和实质的前提下,可以对这些实施方式做出多种变更或修改。因此,本发明的保护范围由所附权利要求书限定。
