Claim One:
1. A medical system promoting coronary angiogenesis, comprising: an implantable medical electrical lead including at least one electrode; a first fluid reservoir containing heparin and a second fluid reservoir containing an adenosine-modulating drug, each reservoir coupled to a pump; a delivery tube coupled to the first reservoir and the second reservoir; and a microcomputer unit coupled to the lead and the pump, and programmed to control the lead and the pump, such that a bolus of heparin is delivered, via the delivery tube, into a venous system of a patient, cardiac pacing stimuli is delivered, via the at least one lead electrode, to the patient after the delivery of the bolus of heparin, the pacing stimuli being delivered for a predetermined period of time at a rate that generally provokes ischemia in the patient, and a bolus of the adenosine-modulating drug is delivered, via the delivery tube, into the venous system of the patient after the period of the pacing stimuli.
