ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for treating a heart by stimulating revascularization of the heart or creating channels in the heart, the apparatus comprising a sensor, an artificial energy source for causing a first created heartbeat, and a revascularization device coupled to the sensor for creating a first revascularization event in the heart, the revascularization device being controllable to cause the first revascularization event to occur at a selected time in relation to the first created heartbeat if the sensor has detected the first created heartbeat.
