主权项 1. A method of assisting and strengthening a heart, the method comprising: detecting a characteristic of a heart with a sensing lead; transmitting information about the heart characteristic to an electrical cardiac therapy device via the sensing lead; actuating the electrical cardiac therapy device based at least in part on the information about the heart characteristic; transmitting the information about the heart characteristic to a controller via a connecting lead coupled to the electrical cardiac therapy device and the controller; actuating an implantable mechanical heart assist device with an actuating signal from the controller, wherein the actuating is based at least in part on the information about the heart characteristic; and periodically timing the actuating of the mechanical heart assist device and the electrical cardiac therapy device such that a predetermined amount of resistance to contraction is created in the heart.
