INTRAVASCULAR IMPLANT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An intravascular system implantable in vascular of an animal for providing electrical stimulation of tissue to deal with a clinical condition of the animal, the intravascular system comprising:
- an implantable control module for controlling the electrical stimulation and producing a desired digital waveform having an envelope defined as a function of an attribute;
an implantable intravascular sensing module sensing at least one parameter of interest for a purpose to deal with the clinical condition; and
an intravascular stimulation module for electrically stimulating the tissue with a output waveform that is substantially similar to the desired digital waveform produced by the implantable control module; and
a power supply for furnishing energy to the implantable control module, the implantable intravascular sensing module, and the intravascular stimulation module.

Abstract
An intravascular implantable system for providing electrical stimulation of tissue inside an animal to deal with a clinical condition is described. The system comprises a power supply module supplying energy to the implantable system, an implanted control module controlling operation of the implantable system and producing desired digital waveforms. Each desired digital waveform has an envelope with a predetermined attribute. An implanted intravascular sensing module sensing at least one parameter of interest for the purpose of dealing with the clinical condition. An intravascular stimulation module is provided to electrically stimulate the tissue with an output waveform that is substantially similar to the desired digital waveform produced by the control module.
