Abstract

The invention relates to a system (1) for stimulating organs, e.g. the heart, comprising an impulse wave source (2; 2') for generating an impulse wave or pressure wave, a stimulation device (3; 3') for generating an electrical stimulation pulse, and a control device (5) for controlling the generation of the impulse wave or pressure wave by the impulse wave source (2; 2') and the generation of the electrical stimulation pulse by the stimulation device (3; 3'). The invention further relates to a system (20) for stimulating organs, e.g. the heart, comprising an impulse wave source (21; 21') for generating an impulse wave or pressure wave, a locating device (22; 22', 23) for detecting a target zone by means of Doppler ultrasound, and a control device (24) for controlling the generation of the impulse wave or pressure wave by the impulse wave source based on the detection of the target zone by the locating device.
