METHOD OF ELECTROMAGNETIC CARDIAC BIOSTIMULATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for improvement of cardiac function, reduction of scar tissue formation, and/or augmentation of cardiac muscle regeneration after heart disease such as myocardial infarction or others by electromagnetic radiation.

SOLUTION: An optical element on the tip end section of a wave guide tube housed in an elongated probe for guiding into the cardiac ventricle includes a wide angle lens or fisheye lens for widening the biostimulative electromagnetic radiation or emitting a beam with a cross section larger than the cross section of the wave guide tube. A section with flexibility on the probe is bent corresponding to the shape of cardiac wall section so as to make the optical element be brought in physically contact with the cardiac wall section.
