ABSTRACT:
An extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) therapy addresses cardiac dysfunction including heart failure. ESS therapy employs atrial and/or ventricular extra-systoles via pacing-level stimulation to a heart. These extra-systoles must be timed correctly to achieve beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics (efficacy) while maintaining an extremely low level of risk of arrhythmia induction and excellent ICD-like arrhythmia sensing and detection (security). The present invention relates to therapy delivery guidance and options for improved ESS therapy delivery. These methods may be employed individually or in combinations in an external or implantable ESS therapy delivery device.
