Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for coordinating musculoskeletal and cardiovascular hemodynamics. In some embodiments, a heart pacing signal causes heart contractions to occur with an essentially constant time relationship with respect to rhythmic musculoskeletal activity. In other embodiments, prompts (e.g., audio, graphical, etc.) are provided to a user to assist them in timing of their rhythmic musculoskeletal activity relative to timing of their cardiovascular cycle. In further embodiments, accurately indicating a heart condition during a cardiac stress test is increased.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of pacing a heart of an individual, comprising:\n accessing signals from at least one musculoskeletal activity sensor positioned in or on the individual; detecting from the signals a recurrent musculoskeletal event of the individual that occurs at substantially a same timing location during each musculoskeletal activity cycle of a rhythmic activity of the individual; determining a musculoskeletal activity rate from the recurrent musculoskeletal event; determining a target heart rate relative to the musculoskeletal activity rate; determining a target timing within a target phase of the musculoskeletal activity cycle that has a consistent timing relationship relative to the recurrent musculoskeletal event; and providing a pacing signal to the heart of the individual at the target heart rate and the target timing within the target phase of the musculoskeletal activity cycle.
