Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Techniques "AND SYSTEM (10)" for detection and treatment of myocardial ischemia are described that monitor both the electrical and dynamic mechanical activity of the heart to detect and verify the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in a more reliable manner. The occurrence of myocardial ischemia can be detected by monitoring changes in an electrical signal such as an ECG or EGM, and changes in dynamic mechanical activity of the heart. Dynamic mechanical activity can be represented for example, by a heart acceleration , signal or pressure signal. The electrical signal can be obtained from a set of implanted or external electrodes (16,18,20;22,24,26)" . The heart acceleration signal …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 30, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 30, 2022.
