The device senses Natural Heart Acceleration (NHA), isolating at least one segment (t) thereof corresponding to an isovolumetric phase, such as isovolumetric contraction (P1, P2) and/or isovolumetric relaxation (P3, P4). Preferentially, the action of isolation of the aforesaid segment is made starting from the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Among other things, the device may be used to carry out pacing functions (pacemaker, defibrillator, pacer cardioverter defibrillator) and/or to pick up, possibly by telemetry, data on the myocardial function and/or also to control a system of drug administration.

Device for determining myocardial function and corresponding procedure

A device for controlling therapeutic means acting on a patient comprises means for detecting the sympatho-vagal balance of the patient and processor means for generating a control signal for the therapeutic means combined in a circuit assembly which allows the device to be implanted in the body of said patient.

Method and device for monitoring and detecting sympatho-vagal activity

A cardiostimulator device includes an accelerometric sensor positioned on the electrode or cathetar intended to be inserted in the cardiac mass, possibly being associated with a stimulating or sensing electrode. In this way, it is possible to regulate the frequency (and in general all the methods) of stimulation in dependence on the so-called natural heart acceleration correlated to the physical activity of the patient.
