1. An apparatus for cardio-synchronised stimulation of skeletal or smooth muscle, but excluding heart muscles, in a counterpulsation mode of a patient having a cardiovascular system and a heart having a heart rate, the apparatus comprising:

  • at least one active electrode and at least one passive electrode configured for attachment to said patient at positions at which the electrodes are in communication with said skeletal or smooth muscle when said skeletal or smooth muscle is in its original, natural position within the patient;

    a signal processor having a configuration input and configured to produce control signal information relating to stimulation signals to be applied to said at least one active electrode in the counterpulsation mode;

    a sensing system configured to sense information relating to performance of the patient'"'"'s heart, the information comprising at least the heart rate, and to transmit information signals relating to the information to said signal processor;

    a medical evaluation unit configured to transmit signal configuration information to the configuration input and said signal processor being adapted to take account of said signal configuration information when generating said control signal information,wherein the connection between the configuration input and the signal processor, and/or the connection between the configuration input and the medical evaluation unit can be realized by any device with wireless transmitter and/or receiver capabilities.
