ABSTRACT:
Techniques for cardiac monitoring and angina pectoris treatment using a cardiac condition detector and stimulating electrode. The detector and electrode are implanted. Angina is relieved by transmitting electrical pulses to the stimulating electrode while the patient is giving an indication of an ischemic event that otherwise would be indicated by the angina.
