<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems including an implantable receiver-stimulator and an implantable controller-transmitter used for leadless electrical stimulation of body tissues. <P>SOLUTION: Cardiac pacing and arrhythmia control is accomplished with one or more implantable receiver-stimulators 2 and an external or implantable controller-transmitter 1. The systems are implanted by testing external or implantable devices at different tissue sites, observing physiologic and device responses, and selecting sites with preferred performance for implanting the systems. In these systems, the controller-transmitter is activated at a remote tissue location to transmit/deliver acoustic energy through the body to a receiver-stimulator at a target tissue location. The receiver-stimulator converts the acoustic energy to electrical energy for electrical stimulation of the body tissue. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
