Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating mitral or tricuspid regurgitation with electrical stimulation. By providing pacing stimulation to a selected region of the left ventricle, such as one in proximity to the mitral valve apparatus or papillary muscles in a manner that pre-excites the region during early ventricular systole, a beneficial effect is obtained which can prevent or reduce the extent of mitral regurgitation.
