Abstract
A cardiac treatment apparatus, comprising an external cardiac waveform monitor capable of sensing a physiological signal from a heart of a patient and capable of determining if the patient's heart requires a therapeutic dose of electrical stimulation, an electrical stimulator adapted to deliver the therapeutic dose of electrical stimulation to the heart of the patient and, a wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter capable of wirelessly transmitting the patient's sensed physiological data to a remote medical provider.
Claims20
A cardiac treatment apparatus, comprising:
- an external cardiac waveform monitor capable of sensing a physiological signal from a heart of a patient and capable of autonomously determining if the patient's heart requires a therapeutic dose of electrical stimulation;
- an electrical stimulator adapted to autonomously deliver the therapeutic dose of electrical stimulation to the heart of the patient;
- an attachment plate at least partially interstitially disposed between the external cardiac waveform monitor and the patient, the attachment plate adapted to electrically couple the external cardiac waveform monitor and the patient;
- and,
- a wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter capable of wirelessly transmitting the patient's sensed physiological data to a remote medical provider.
