Abstract:
1. A system comprising: at least one wirelessly powered control assembly sized and shaped to be capable of delivery via an intravascular route and configured for implant at least partially in heart tissue, the control assembly comprising a conductive coil configured to wirelessly receive magnetically -coupled energy from a magnetic field; a plurality of stimulation electrode assemblies sized and shaped to be capable of delivery via an intravascular route and configured for implant at least partially into myocardial heart tissue; a conductive wire assembly configured to electrically connect the plurality of stimulation electrode assemblies to the control assembly, the conductive wire assembly configured to be contained entirely within at least one of a heart or a pericardium; wherein the control assembly is configured to deliver the received magnetically-coupled energy as electrical stimulation energy to at least one of the plurality of stimulation electrode assemblies using the conductive wire assembly; and wherein the stimulation electrode assemblies are configured to receive the electrical stimulation energy from the control assembly using the conductive wire assembly and to deliver the received electrical stimulation energy as an electrical stimulation to the myocardial heart tissue.
