ABSTRACT:
A system for providing medical electrical stimulation, the system features a pulse generator, the pulse generator generating electrical stimulation pulses of a first amplitude and a second amplitude, first and second elongated leads coupled to the pulse generator, a zener diode which directs electrical stimulation pulses of a first amplitude to the first lead and directs electrical stimulation pulses of a second amplitude to the first lead and the second lead, the means for directing electrical stimulation pulses coupled to the pulse generator. In the preferred embodiment the diode is electrically coupled to one of the leads such that electrical stimulation of a first amplitude is not passed through the diode while electrical stimulation of a second amplitude is passed through the diode. Overall the adaptor permits a single channel of stimulation to be split and provided to two areas of the heart merely be adjusting the amplitude of the stimulation pulses.
