Embodiment Construction

[0039] Heart failure is characterized by a limitation in the heart's physiological ability to pump blood. In the early stages of the disease, this condition is only manifested in a weight-bearing state. In advanced disease, pumping limitation can also be observed at rest.

[0040] The generally accepted grading of heart failure is the grading method of NYHA (New York Heart Association), in which heart failure is divided into four grades.

[0041] The goal of treating heart failure is to improve heart function or to maintain impaired function for as long as possible.

[0042] Heart failure is managed medically in the early stages, but in the advanced stages so-called resynchronization by biventricular pacing is now often used, while in the later stages the treatment of choice is heart transplantation or implantation of a cardiac support system or artificial heart system.

[0043] Treatment with microcurrent or electromagnetic energy is a new approach to heart failure. This t...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electromedical implantable or extracorporeally applicable device for treating and monitoring organs as well as a method for therapeutic organ treatment. The aim of the invention is to create an electromedical implantable or externally applicable device which allows healing processes to be excited in diseased organs. Said aim is achieved by an electromedical implantable or extracorporeally applicable device for treating and monitoring organs, comprising a programmable generator and receiver unit (3) which generates and receives electrical microcurrents and electromagnetic power and is connected in a conducting manner to electrodes (4, 5), a telemetry unit (6) that is integrated into the generator and receiver unit (3) and is provided with a transmitter and a receiver for exchanging data with extracorporeal devices, and a power supply unit (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an implantable or extracorporeal electromedical device for organ treatment and organ monitoring as well as a method for therapeutic organ treatment. Background technique [0002] Electromedical devices for cardiac treatment and monitoring (diagnostics) are well known. Based on the fact that the activation of cardiomyocytes is triggered by voltages (potentials, currents), several devices have been developed which are able to measure and visualize these cardiac voltages (potentials, currents). An important application of this voltage or potential measurement is the electrocardiogram (EKG), with which the electrical stimulation process of the heart can be visualized. Each contraction of the heart is triggered by electrical stimulation of cardiomyocytes. The drawn electrical stimulation curve thus provides an image of the contraction process of the myocardium. Based on the conductivity of the body, the measurement of the stimulu...
