Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to nerve stimulation, and more particularly
- cardiac function specifically, low cardiac output — that leaves the heart unable to meet
- Heart rate is one of the major determinants of myocardial oxygen
- a lowered heart rate has the effect of improving the oxygen balance in the heart
- bradycardia involve additional actions on the periphery through direct or indirect
- pathological bradycardia such as A-V block
- pharmacological methods of inducing bradycardia for example, by ingestion of beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or selective bradycardia drugs — it may be difficult to avoid unwanted negative ion inotropy and systemic effects of the drugs, particularly if they are used on a chronic basis.
- beta blocker therapy is highly beneficial to those patients who can tolerate the side effects.
- Bilgutay et al. in an article titled "Vagal Tuning, " J Cardiovas. Surg. 56(1):71- 82 described studies in dogs with right vagal stimulation for treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias, angina pectoris, and heart failure.
- the experiments involved right vagus nerve stimulation and resulted in a selection of amplitude of 6 to 10 volts, a frequency of 10 pulses per second, and 0.2 msec pulse duration.
- the coronary flow remained constant. However, the heart rate was decreased 35 to 50 percent. The increase in percentage of coronary flow per heart beat was found to be 75 to 100 per cent.
- Bilgutay administered Isuprel to induce tachycardia which increased heart rate from 170 bpm to 240 bpm. He then stimulated the vagus nerve and reduced the heart rate from 240 bpm to 120 bpm. The ventricular and aortic pressures were unchanged by vagus stimulation, whereas the systole and diastole were prolonged.
- Vagus stimulation of the left cardiac branch of the vagus nerve to lower ventricular heart rate in the presence of atrial fibrillation is described by Geddes et. al. in U.S. Patent No. (USPN) 5,690,681, and the more recently issued USPN 5,916,239.
- USPN U.S. Patent No.
- a closed loop, variable frequency vagal stimulation apparatus was used to control ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation.
- the apparatus included means for stimulating a vagal nerve at a stimulation frequency which was varied automatically in response to sensed conditions, and a controller having an output connected to the stimulating means.
- the latter included means for automatically and continuously adjusting the vagal stimulation frequency as a function of the difference between actual and desired ventricular excitation rates.
- the apparatus of the '681 patent was stated to automatically control ventricular rate by vagal stimulation, to minimize pulse deficit during atrial fibrillation.
- the arterial pulse rate was detected and the ventricular excitation rate and arterial pulse rate were compared.
- the vagal stimulation frequency was automatically adjusted as a function of the difference between the ventricular excitation rate and the arterial pulse rate.
- a number of patents describe various methods of vagus stimulation for the control of ventricular arrhythmias.
- USPN 5,203,326 to Collins discloses a pacemaker which detects a cardiac abnormality — a pathologic high rate — and responds with pacing combined with vagus nerve stimulation, to reduce the heart rate from the tachyrhythmia rate to the normal rate.
- USPN 5,330,507 to Schwartz describes stimulation of the right or left vagus nerve in response to a ventricular rate exceeding a predetermined threshold characteristic of tachycardia.
- European Pat. No. 688577A1 to Holmstrom describes stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system in the neck in response to detection of a supraventricular arrhythmia. The vagus nerve is a parasympathetic nerve.
- USPN 5,700,282 to Zabara describes a process for monitoring the heart to detect arrhythmias and simultaneous stimulation of the vagus and cardiac sympathetic nerves to stabilize the heart rhythm.
- USPN 5,658,318 to Stroetmann describes detecting a state of imminent cardiac arrhythmia from nerve activity signals and administering antiarrhythmia therapy.
- USPN 5,522,854 to Ideker describes detection of the ratio of sympathetic to parasympathetic nerve activity and delivering stimulation to afferent nerves upon detection of a high-risk arrhythmia. None of these patents describe lowering the heart rate below the normal physiological rate range in heart failure patients to increase growth of capillaries and increase coronary blood flow.
- USPN 5, 913, 876 to Taylor describes a method of stimulating the vagus nerve near a patient's heart to momentarily stop the heart in order to perform coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
- the present invention is directed to reducing the heart rate in patients suffering from heart failure — a reduction which may be and preferably is to a rate that is lower than the low end of the normal range of the heart rate of a human subject — to promote and enhance coronary capillary growth and coronary blood flow.
- a reduction which may be and preferably is to a rate that is lower than the low end of the normal range of the heart rate of a human subject — to promote and enhance coronary capillary growth and coronary blood flow.
- an implanted nerve stimulation device or neurostimulator (sometimes referred to herein simply as a “device” or a “stimulator”), is employed and programmed to stimulate the vagus nerve at a first prescribed impulse stimulation frequency to reduce the patient's heart rate, particularly the ventricular rate, toward a heart rate within a desired range.
- the vagal stimulation frequency is automatically adjusted as a function of the difference between the ventricular excitation rate and the desired ventricular rate.
- the implanted device commences to stimulate the vagus nerve at one pulse per second (pps), for example.
- the stimulation is continued at this frequency for about one minute to allow the ventricular rate to stabilize in the presence of the vagal inputs.
- the vagal stimulation rate is increased, for example to about two pps, and the process continues during another stabilization period. Further change in vagal stimulation frequency is made until the ventricular rate is further reduced and ultimately reaches the desired target range for the rate.
- the target range is typically set at +/- 5% to +/- 10% of a prescribed target rate, and the amount (or rate) of the increase in the vagal stimulation frequency is preferably reduced — for example, to 0.5 pps, or proportionally less — as the ventricular rate approaches the target rate range. If the ventricular rate falls below the target rate range, this condition is detected and the vagal stimulation frequency is thereupon automatically reduced or vagal stimulation is entirely inhibited, i.e., ceased, depending upon the extent of the deficit.
- a damped feedback loop with hysteresis can be used to maintain the frequency of stimulation of the vagus nerve at a level just sufficient to substantially sustain the ventricular rate at the target rate or at least within the target rate range, for example.
- other types of controllers and control mechanisms may be employed.
- the stimulator may be programmed to reduce the ventricular rate on a periodic basis, by concomitantly and proportionally increasing the vagal stimulation frequency, such as for a period of one hour at the preselected reduced ventricular rate, followed by a period of one hour at the patient's normal resting rate range.
- This type of alternating reduced heart rate/normal heart rate therapy may be useful for those patients that initially have difficulty tolerating the lowered heart rate.
- the ON/OFF times (of reduced rate/normal rate) may be selected from a range of minutes to hours or days.
- an activity sensor such as an accelerometer may be incorporated within or associated with the stimulator to detect physical activity by the patient — even merely a change in position, or slow walking — to trigger either an inhibition of the vagal stimulation, or an adjustment of the vagal stimulation frequency to produce a higher ventricular target rate.
- the patient receives the benefit of a more physiologically appropriate higher heart rate during periods of physical activity or exercise.
- the stimulation parameters are returned to a level that will ultimately lower the rate to below the resting heart rate range. For a patient experiencing heart failure, this is the reduced ventricular rate according to the invention.
- the patient may be given a modicum of control over the therapy to adjust the vagal stimulation rate, and thus the heart rate, according to the state of physical activity of the patient — i.e., whether the patient is in a state of rest or engaging in some form of physical activity, even slight.
- the stimulator device may be implemented, for example, by incorporating in it instead of or in addition to an activity sensor (e.g., an accelerometer), a reed switch which is operable by an external magnet wielded by the patient.
- the switch When the patient places the magnet over the implant site of the stimulator, the switch operates, for example, to either inhibit vagal stimulation (for increased heart rate when the patient is about to embark in some physical activity) or to initiate vagal stimulation (for reduced heart rate when the patient is entering a state of rest), according to the specific manner in which the device is implemented to respond to operation of the switch.
- vagal stimulation for increased heart rate when the patient is about to embark in some physical activity
- vagal stimulation for reduced heart rate when the patient is entering a state of rest
- a different heart rate target and/or rate range may be programmed in the device for magnet-activation, from the heart rate target or rate range selected for the ongoing or prophylactic operation of the stimulator, or from even the activity sensor-triggered target. Additionally, the programming may be devised to initiate a fall-back rate from the elevated heart rate induced by the initial patient-initiated activation, for a more physiologically appropriate heart rate decline when the patient ceases the activity, upon the next patient-initiated activation in an activation sequence.
- the device may also be programmed for different heart rate targets or target ranges during daytime and nighttime hours, or otherwise according to the circadian rhythm of the patient, to recognize the normally lower heart rate during sleep or slumber than the rate experienced when the patient is awake.
- Another object of the invention is to selectively lower the heart rate of heart failure patients by vagal stimulation in a gradual manner to a rate within a predetermined target rate range below the low end of the normal rate range, and to maintain the heart rate within that target rate range during periods of rest or substantial inactivity of the patient, to produce an increase in coronary blood flow.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide for heart rate reduction in heart failure patients by means of vagal stimulation, with allowance for adjustment of the reduced rate as necessary when the patient is engaged in periods of physical activity by either sensing the activity and inhibiting or changing the vagal stimulation accordingly, or by patient-actuated inhibition.
- Still another object of the invention is to limit the heart rate in periods of physical activity to a rate which is both safe and appropriate for the heart failure patient.
- FIG.1 is a simplified diagram of a neurostimulator device for stimulus generation with associated lead-electrode system implanted in a patient's body, together with related external program console, suitable for practicing the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a simplified block diagram of an implantable stimulus generator of the type used in the device of FIG. 1, utilizing activity sensing and other detection according to certain preferred methods and embodiments of the present invention
- the stimulus generator 25 of device 10 is generally of thin circular, oval, or rectangular shape and suitably sized for implantation.
- the device is implanted in a surgically-formed pocket just below the skin, typically but not necessarily in the left pectoral region of a patient 12.
- the back side of stimulus generator 25 (or the front side, depending on the implanting physician's preference as to the direction in which an electrically conductive insulatively sheathed lead 16 of the neurostimulator device 10 will extend for implantation of electrode array 15 of the lead on the vagus nerve) resides against the pectoral muscle in this example.
- the generator housing 14 (typically referred to in the art as a “can” or “case”) is composed of biocompatible material, typically a metal such as titanium or medical grade stainless steel, and is hermetically sealed to prevent fluid penetration into the electronic components and battery(ies) (sometimes referred to herein as the "electronics package") contained therein.
- a male connector at the proximal end of lead or lead assembly 16 is inserted into a female connector in a header 51 on case 14, to electrically connect the nerve stimulating electrode array 15 at the distal end of lead 16 to the proper node(s) of the electrical circuitry of the electronics package in the stimulus generator.
- the electrode array is preferably a bipolar stimulating electrode assembly, for example, of the type described in U.S. Patent 4,573,481 to Bullara.
- the electrical output pulse waveform of stimulus generator 25 is applied through the lead-electrode system to the vagus nerve at a selected location, such as the cervical location shown in FIG. 1.
- the implanted neurostimulator device communicates by telemetry with a programmer and/or monitor (sometimes referred to herein as the "program console") external to the patient's body, by asynchronous serial communication, to selectively control and detect operating states of the device.
- a programmer and/or monitor sometimes referred to herein as the "program console”
- Conventional external components employed for these purposes may include a programming wand 18 which transmits parameter changes to device 10 and receives device parameter and signal information to be monitored, in conjunction with computer 20 of the program console.
- Conventional software installed in the computer facilitates physician-controlled adjustment of selected parameters and communication with the implanted device.
- FIG. 2 A simplified block diagram of the stimulus generator 25 of implantable device 10 is illustrated in FIG. 2.
- Generator 25 includes battery(ies) 32, such as a lithium carbon monofluoride cell, electrically connected to the input of a voltage regulator 33, which powers the device.
- the regulated output voltage is supplied to a logic and control section 35 and other electronic sections, including a microprocessor 36 that implements and controls the programmable functions of the device.
- Programmable functions may include the magnitude of current or voltage, the frequency, the pulse width, and the on- time and off-time of output pulses generated by the stimulus generator for application to the lead assembly and thence to the distal electrode array and the nerve on which it is implanted.
- the programmability of the device enables the attending physician to selectively tailor its output pulse waveform to modulate the electrical activity of the vagus nerve to provide a prescribed therapy regimen for treatment. Timing of the logic and control and other functions of the stimulus generator is controlled by a precise output frequency signal of a crystal oscillator 37.
- a magnetically-actuatable reed switch 39 is provided in the event the physician may desire that the patient should be permitted to manually activate the generator for initiating the delivery of its output pulses to the nerve by means of an external magnet (not shown). This may be done for purposes of adjusting the stimulation frequency to increase the heart rate during periods of physical activity by the patient, or to reduce the heart rate toward the lower target range when the activity has ceased for a sufficient interval, as observed in the brief summary of the invention above.
- the reed switch can also be used to inhibit stimulation in the event the patient experiences discomfort with the programmed therapy or in the event of a perceived malfunction.
- Built-in antenna 40 is provided for use in bidirectional telemetry communication between the implanted stimulus generator and the external electronics of the program console, for supplying the programming signals necessary to set or change the output pulse parameters, and to detect device operation, via wand 18 (FIG. 1). Once the generator is programmed, it operates continuously at the programmed settings until they are re-programmed (by the attending physician) by means of the external program console.
- Logic/control section 35 controls output circuit 42 for producing the output pulse waveform according to the prescribed therapy.
- the stimulus generator may be activated continuously or sporadically as necessary for treatment to bring the patient's detected ventricular rate to the target level, or may be controlled at least to some limited extent by the patient's manual activation by use of the external magnet.
- the programmed output waveform is delivered via the electrical connector in the header of the generator case to lead assembly 16 and stimulating electrode array 15 (FIG. 1). This electrical stimulation produces a predetermined modulation of the electrical activity of the nerve on which the electrodes are implanted, to adjust the ventricular rate of the patient's heart.
- means for manually activating or deactivating the stimulus generator include a sensor such as an accelerometer or a piezoelectric element mounted to the inner surface of the generator case and adapted to detect light taps by the patient on the implant site.
- a sensor such as an accelerometer or a piezoelectric element mounted to the inner surface of the generator case and adapted to detect light taps by the patient on the implant site.
- the patient's ventricular rate is detected and used to automatically adjust the frequency of the vagal stimulation.
- heart rate is reduced to within a rate range below the lower end of the normal resting rate range of the patient.
- the amount of this reduction is preferably to a rate which is 30 to 45% below the patient's normal heart rate.
- a conventional implanted rate sensor detects a ventricular rate exceeding the prescribed target rate by application to a comparator that stores the target rate.
- the implanted stimulus generator is programmed to stimulate the vagus nerve at an initial pulse stimulation frequency, and, when the patient's heart rate begins to move toward the prescribed target rate, to enter into a specified therapy regimen.
- the pulse generator will not be able to sense and stimulate from the same electrode, as is described in the '272 patent.
- another sensing electrode is required because if attempts were made to sense off the pacing electrode an event might be missed while a pulse is being delivered.
- a separate electrode for sensing may be incorporated as an integral part of the pulse generator, for example on the header.
- a separate lead could be used with the sense tip positioned away from the stimulating electrode.
- the sensing tip could be positioned in, or in close proximity to, the heart.
- a separate sensing electrode would not be required and the nerve stimulation electrode could be used for sensing.
- a graph of heart rate versus left vagal stimulation frequency in dogs indicates stimulation at 3.5 Hz limits the rate to about 100 bpm; 6 Hz limits the rate to about 60 bpm; and 10 Hz limits the rate to about 35 bpm.
- an amplifier is added to sense the presence of a P wave, indicating atrial contraction.
- An electrode is inserted in the atrium for increased P wave signal amplitude. Atrial and/or ventricular sensing may be used to control the vagus stimulation rate.
- a single amplifier-electrode device may be used, which has a signal analyzer to differentiate between the P wave and the R wave. In this implementation, it is important to stimulate the cardiac branch of the vagus nerve, since stimulation of the main branch of the vagus in the neck below the cardiac branch will not affect the heart rate.
- the cardiac cervical branch of the vagus nerve provides the most convenient access location for attaching the electrode, as it branches from the main truck of the vagus relatively high in the neck, thus providing a sufficiently long section in the neck for electrode attachment. Stimulation of the left vagus nerve is preferred, although stimulation of the right vagus is an alternative method.
- the vagal stimulation frequency is automatically adjusted as a function of the difference between the actual ventricular rate and the target rate.
- the vagus nerve is subjected to stimulation at a frequency of one pulse per second, and this stimulation frequency is sustained for a specified but relatively brief interval of time, e.g., about one minute, to allow the ventricular rate to stabilize at a new level.
- the vagal stimulation frequency is then increased to a level of about two pulses per second, which is held until the ventricular rate again stabilizes.
- This regimen continues through the current stabilization period, with further change in vagal stimulation frequency for each measurable reduction in the heart rate and subsequent stabilization interval, until the ventricular rate ultimately reaches the prescribed target rate.
- the rate of change of increase in the vagal stimulation frequency is preferably programmed, according to the therapy regimen, to decline from one pulse per second between successive stabilization intervals, for example, to 0.5 pulse per second.
- the controller may take the percentage of difference between the desired and actual ventricular rate, multiplied by a constant factor, and add to the vagus stimulation rate, to achieve the modified vagal stimulation rate.
- the vagus stimulation frequency is increased to lower the ventricular rate towards to desired range, so long as the atrial- ventricular synchrony is maintained.
- the reduction in ventricular rate is held in a range just above the rate at which atrial-ventricular synchrony is lost.
- the minimum ventricular rate with which atrial- ventricular rate is maintained can be determined by external monitoring. If the generator has an atrial sense electrode and amplifier, the lower rate can be determined automatically. It has been found that lowering the patient's heart rate to a ventricular bradycardia in a range of from about 30% to 45% of the baseline heart rate, or about 38 bpm to 49 bpm for a rate of 70 bpm, promotes and enhances the growth of coronary blood vessels, and especially the myocardial capillaries, to provide an increase in coronary blood flow through the heart. Cardiac output is expected to be gradually improved over a period of several weeks or longer as a result of increased myocardial capillaries and increased coronary blood flow.
- the generator is provided with safeguards to prevent electrical noise from inadvertently lowering the patient's heart rate. First, it should reject any signals above a predefined frequency, such as 5 Hz, as noise. Secondly, a maximum stimulation frequency should be programmed to establish a level which would be physiologically safe for the patient, in the event of noise, so as to prevent the patient's heart rate from being reduced below a safe level. Noise detection algorithms are used, and when noise is detected the vagus nerve stimulation is automatically inhibited.
- the stimulation is provided as a burst, which is synchronized with either the P wave or the R wave.
- the burst typically extends about 150 to 200 msec after the R wave.
- the implanted nerve stimulator is programmed to undergo much less frequent changes, so that the ventricular rate of the patient is reduced periodically and held at the reduced level.
- the vagal stimulation frequency is proportionally increased, e.g., for a period of, say, one hour at an interim designated ventricular rate.
- the vagal stimulation is ceased or adjusted to a lower frequency to allow the heart rate to return to normal resting rates and which will allow an increase in rate up to, but not exceeding, a safe level which will support moderate exercise.
- Such a protocol or regimen in which the patient's heart rate is alternately reduced and then returned to its normal (for this patient) resting rate, for sufficiently protracted periods which are nominally (but not absolutely necessarily) of the same or substantially similar lengths of time, is desirable in instances where the patient experiences difficulty in tolerating the reduced heart rate.
- the regimens practiced according to the invention promote myocardial capillary growth which is desirable in patients with heart failure, and, according to another aspect of the invention, reduction in ventricular rate is intentionally inhibited ⁇ at least from the standpoint that the reduction is induced by vagal stimulation attributable to the implanted neurostimulator — during periods in which the patient is detected as undergoing activity.
- detection is enabled by incorporating into the implanted device a conventional activity or exercise sensor, such as an accelerometer 44 (FIG. 2).
- the output of the accelerometer when indicative of patient activity is used to inhibit or reduce the vagal stimulation to allow assumption of a more physiologically appropriate heart rate, and when indicative of rest is used to increase stimulation toward reduction of the heart rate to the predetermined target rate range.
- the times (i.e., intervals) during which the implanted device is activated for stimulation of the vagus nerve to lower the heart rate and inhibited (or the stimulation is decreased sufficiently) to return the rate back toward the normal resting level may be periodically or even sporadically adjusted as part of the programming of the device, from a range of minutes to hours or even days in length.
- the implanted device detects the condition in which the patient's ventricular rate falls below the prescribed target rate, and responds with an automatic reduction of the vagal stimulation frequency or cessation of the stimulation entirely, at least until a recovery to the target rate is detected.
- a damped feedback loop with hysteresis can be used to maintain the frequency of stimulation of the vagus nerve at a level sufficient to substantially sustain the ventricular rate within the target rate range.
- the damped feedback will use the techniques described previously of making small or proportionately small changes in the stimulation rate to increase or decrease the desired heart rate into the desired range.
- the damping should be provided on the increasing of the vagal stimulation frequency to reduce the heart rate, whereas no damping is provided on decreasing the vagal stimulation frequency if a decision is made to increase the heart rate because it is too low.
- Patient control of the therapy may be permitted to a limited extent by appropriate programming of the implanted device by the attending cardiologist — for example, to allow the patient to adjust the vagal stimulation by temporarily turning it off or adjusting the frequency of stimulation in a limited range, in recognition of the presence or absence of physical activity. This may be done either instead of or in addition to providing an accelerometer in the stimulator.
- the patient control if allowed, may be manifested through an external magnet or tapping on the body at or very near the site of the implant, or by any other suitable alternative technique for which the device has been implemented.
- the device is preferably programmed for some patients to undergo vagal stimulation at different target heart rates according to the time of day (e.g., differently during daytime and nighttime hours), or otherwise according to the circadian rhythm of the patient, such as is appropriate to a lower heart rate during sleep or slumber than during the patient's waking hours.
- This implementation is achieved in part through the incorporation of a conventional clock beyond the clocking provided for operation of the electronics package of the device.
- the programming for such selected patients may allow a reduction in the target rate during the nighttime hours.
