INTERMITTENT PACING THERAPY FOR ANGINA AND DISEASE PREVENTION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- sensing a signal indicative of an incidence of angina and an angina region being a myocardial region affected by the angina;
detecting the incidence of angina and locating the angina region;
selecting a pacing location remote from the angina region; and
initiating cardiac protective pacing therapy (CPPT) at the pacing location adapted to create increased stress at the angina region, to promote mass-redistribution and angiogenesis at the angina region to treat the angina.

Abstract
A pacing system delivers cardiac protective pacing therapy (CPPT) to protect the heart from injuries and/or to treat existing injuries. The pacing system receives a set of inputs and delivers optimized cardiac protection pacing tailored for each of different purposes. The system delivers electrical stimulation to provide therapy for angina and/or to provide therapy for co-morbidities related to neural imbalance. In one embodiment, a method for treating angina is provided. A signal is sensed indicative of an incidence of angina and an angina region being a myocardial region affected by the angina. The incidence of angina is detected and the angina region is located. A pacing location is selected remote from the angina region, and CPPT is initiated at the pacing location. The CPPT is adapted to create increased stress at the angina region, to promote mass-redistribution and angiogenesis at the angina region to treat the angina.
