Patent ID: 8615293

Claim:
A method of treating the heart in an organism, the method comprising: (a) providing an organism to be treated; (b) determining that an electromagnetic field having a flux density that is specific to only sympathetic stimulation should be applied to the organism; (c) delivering the magnetic flux density specific to sympathetic stimulation to the organism or part of the organism, wherein the magnetic flux is between 7.5×10 −8 gauss to about 1×10 −6 gauss, and wherein the magnetic flux density (B) for the electromagnetic field to be applied to the organism is determined using the formula mc 2 =Bvlq, wherein m equals a mass of one or more biological targets related to cardiac function; c equals the speed of light; v equals the inertial velocity of said mass in at least one of the earth's orbital or earth's rotational systems; l equals the length of the organism to which the field will be applied; and q equals unity of charge and has a value of 1 ab-coulomb, and wherein the frequency (f) for each flux value ranges from 0 to 28 Hertz (Hz), and wherein the target is one of a nerve growth factor (NGF), a homeobox, a neurotransmitter, a cytokine, a motor protein, a structural protein, kinesine, microtubule associated protein (MAP), spectrin, brain specific fodrin, neurofilaments, tubulin, platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vasointestinal peptide, epinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, tubulin subunits, or adenosine; and (d) determining that the treatment increases heart rate and/or decreases A-H intervals in the organism's heart.
