Title: Chritianus J. J. E. Van Groeningen and Cardiac Pacing Innovation

Introduction

Chritianus J. J. E. Van Groeningen is an inventor associated with Utrecht, Netherlands, and Medtronic, Inc. His patent work addresses cardiac pacing technology, particularly the coordination of atrial anti-tachycardia pacing with ventricular pacing.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists 1 patent for Van Groeningen: “Synchronized Atrial Anti-Tachy Pacing System and Method.” The invention describes an implantable cardiac pacing system that delivers anti-tachycardia pacing to the atrium when atrial tachycardia is detected, then automatically resynchronizes ventricular pacing after the final atrial pulse in the pacing sequence.

The system calculates a temporary ventricular pacing interval intended to allow ventricular pacing during the atrial treatment sequence and to deliver the next ventricular pulse after an appropriate atrioventricular delay. If the system cannot initially identify an interval that meets its pacing criteria, it waits for another atrial signal and repeats the calculation.

Career Highlights

Van Groeningen’s listed patent reflects work on coordinating pacing across the heart’s chambers during treatment of atrial tachycardia. The approach aims to maintain suitable timing between atrial therapy and subsequent ventricular pacing.

Collaborations

The supplied information associates Van Groeningen with Medtronic, Inc. and identifies Malcom J. Begemann and Joanneke Gerrigje Groen as coworkers. These details provide context for the professional environment connected with the patent.

Conclusion

Chritianus J. J. E. Van Groeningen’s listed invention focuses on synchronizing atrial anti-tachycardia therapy with ventricular pacing, addressing an important timing challenge in implantable cardiac devices.
