Abstract
A method of treating a patient in cardiac arrest (e.g., in fibrillation, electrochemical dissociation, or asystole), the method comprising delivering an agent for enhancement of cardiac function to the coronary arteries of the patient; and microperfusing the patient's cardiac tissue by electromagnetically stimulating the cardiac issue at an energy level below a threshold sufficient to defibrillate the heart.
Claims7
Apparatus for stimulating cardiac tissue, the apparatus comprising circuitry for generating at least two distinct waveform morphologies for delivery to a patient either interleaved or sequentially,
- wherein a first waveform is configured to increase the therapeutic effect of a first therapeutic agent on a particular cardiac tissue to which the first agent is directed, and
- wherein a second waveform is configured to increase the therapeutic effect of a second therapeutic agent on a particular cardiac tissue to which the second agent is directed.
