METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLEVIATING CARDIOVERSION SHOCK PAIN
摘要
An implantable cardioverter for providing cardioversion electrical energy to at least one chamber of patient's heart in need of cardioversion and applying a pain alleviating therapy at an appropriate site in the patient's body prior to or in conjunction with the delivery of the cardioversion energy to the heart chamber to alleviate propagated pain perceived by the patient. The combined cardioversion and pain alleviating therapies are preferably realized in a single implantable, multi-programmable medical device or separate implantable cardioversion and pain control devices with means for communicating operating and status commands between the devices through the patient's body.
