Abstract
Method and apparatus for transcutaneously pacing the heart with pacing stimuli each of which comprise a series of individual pulses. The heart reacts to the series of pulses as if the series were one continuous pulse, whereas the pulse series produces skeletal muscle reactions that are similar to that which would be expected for individual pulses. The result is reduced stimulation of skeletal muscles and nerves, and less discomfort for the patient. Further reduction in stimulation of skeletal muscles and nerves can be achieved by providing a series of subthreshold initial pulses in each pacing stimulus.
