Description

ABSTRACT:
A system and method for treating ischemic heart disease by increasing heart efficiency. By application of an anodal pulse at or above threshold, the efficiency of the heart is improved by increasing the resting membrane potential of the myocardial cells, increasing the size of the anodal virtual stimulatory electrode, or reducing the ventricular stretching during filling of the ventricle.
