Abstract:
Brugada syndrome and related forms of ion channelopathies, including ventricular asynchrony of contraction, originate in the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions of the heart. Manifestations of Brugada syndrome can be corrected by delivering endocardial electrical stimulation coincident to the activation wave front propagated from the atrioventricular (AV) nodeearly enough to compensate for the conduction problems that start in those region. The stimulation can include waveforms of the same polarity delivered to a site within the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions of the heart associated with a low cardiac electrical asynchrony level or can include at least two single-phased superimposed waveforms of opposite polarity delivered through a pair of pacing electrodes relative to a reference electrode, which can be delivered to any site within the region near the His bundle or para-Hisian regions of the heart.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for treating Brugada syndrome, comprising:\n a cardiac pacing device comprising a pulse generator and at least one pacing electrode that is electrically coupled to the pulse generator via an endocardial lead, the at least one pacing electrode configured to be positioned in one of a plurality of potential pacing sites that is selected based on a level of cardiac electrical asynchrony associated with that potential pacing site, the selected potential pacing site located in one of a region near the His bundle and a para-Hisian region of a patient's heart, the pulse generator configured to deliver through the at least one pacing electrode therapeutic electrical stimulation substantially coincidentally to propagation of an activation wave front proceeding from the atrioventricular node of the patient's heart when the at least one pacing electrode is positioned at the selected potential pacing site.
