Abstract From the Canadian patent

Augmentation of electrical conduction and contractibility by biphasic cardiac pacing. A first stimulation phase is administered to the cardiac blood pool. This first stimulation phase has a predefined polarity amplitude and , duration. A second stimulation phase is then administered to the cardiac blood pool. This second phase also has a predefined polarity amplitude and , duration. The two phases are applied sequentially. Contrary to current thought, anodal stimulation is first applied and followed by cathodal stimulation. In this fashion, pulse conduction through the cardiac muscle is improved together with the increase in contractibility.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 13, 1999 and granted December 2, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 13, 2019.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 13, 2021.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
