Abstract
There is provided a medical device comprising a low to intensity electromagnetic field source to increase the respiratory control values (RCI) of mitochondria. The medical device may be implantable, such as a cardiac rhythm management device, a stent, or a vascular graft. The device may also be worn externally, such as a treatment device haying matrix of magnetic coils that is worn on the head for the treatment of various neurological conditions.
Claims20
A device for improving respiratory control index values of mitochondria comprising:
- an implantable medical device;
- and
- a source of a low intensity magnetic field.
A low intensity electromagnetic treatment device comprising:
- a web comprising a matrix of low intensity electromagnetic field coils;
- a headband supporting the web for encompassing the head of a patient;
- a power source electrically connected to the matrix of low intensity electromagnetic field coils;
- a control unit comprising control logic for addressing specific electromagnetic field Coils;
- a coordinate system for defining a location of specified low intensity electromagnetic field coils;
- and
- a means for selectively energizing specified low intensity electromagnetic field coils to provide targeted treatment of specified regions of the head of a patient.
