In a system that includes a ventricular pacemaker, the system adjusts an atrioventricular delay to synchronize the onset of isovolumetric contraction with the completion of ventricular filling. The system adjusts the atrioventricular delay as a function of electrical and pressure data from the heart. The system further adjusts the atrioventricular delay as a function of measurements of the time interval between a cardiac occurrence such as a ventricular pace and the completion of ventricular filling. The system may also adjust the atrioventricular delay as a function of the heart rate.

The present invention relates to a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for hyperkalemia, and a potassium excretion promoter containing EP₄ agonist.

The present invention discloses a method for eliminating atrial far-field signals in ventricular channels for an implantable cardiac pacemaker. The method includes the following steps that: 1) if atrial and ventricular sensing events occur simultaneously in an atrial and ventricular sensing window in a VA interval, the following processing is carried out: 1, if a VV interval is larger than 300ms, current ventricular sensing is ignored, a 100ms safety AV interval is enabled, and 2, if the VV interval is smaller than or equal to 300ms, atrial and ventricular sensing is caused by T waves, and atrial sensing and ventricular sensing are simultaneously ignored, and a 100ms atrial and ventricular absolute refractory period is enabled; and 2) in the AV interval of the atrial sensing, a 50ms long-field signal detection window is enabled, if a ventricular sensing event is detected in the window, and current ventricular sensing is ignored, and a 100ms safety AV interval is enabled, ventricular safety pacing is realized at the tail end of a ventricular sensing window. With the method of the invention adopted, the suppression of ventricular pacing pulses caused by cross sensing can be avoided, and therefore, the life of a patient having atrioventricular block can be effectively protected.

A zero flow responsive heart stimulator contains a zero flow sensors, which generate signals at the moment of the termination of blood inflow in the right atrium and the right ventricle, sensing this the most precisely in the places, where the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular node reside, for the right atrium and the right ventricle, respectively. The stimulator is based on our discovery, that the two nodes are the same sensors in the biological systems, based on the fact that until the filling of the said two chambers continues, the venous blood flow sucks on Bernoulli's principle the Ca and Na cations from the two nodes interstices, preventing the inward currant in their cells, thus delaying the completion of the 0-phase of their depolarization and the action potential, until the blood flow stops. Our discovery proves that the alternating flow/no flow of the blood in the orifice of superior vena cava and the entrance of the right ventricle is the real pacemaker that fires the both nodes, but not the inverse, as generally assumed, approximating the natural pacemaker to a clock mechanism. This, together with the discovered by us arteriovenous, arteriolymphatic and capillary pumps, closes the loop of the autonomous automatic functioning of the cardiovascular system, even completely denervated and in the absence of muscle contractions. It is the first devise, which activates the atrial and the ventricular contractions in a function of the zero-flow of the filling them venous blood, which is the exact imitation of the sinoatrial and atrioventricular firing.
