Abstract
An adaptive feed-back controlled system for regulating a physiological function of a heart in which a hemodynamic sensor continuously monitors the physiological performance of the heart. Three implanted electrodes sense and pace the right atrial, right ventricle and left ventricle. A learning neural network module receives and processes information for the electrodes (18) and sensors (22), and is controlled by a deterministic module for limiting said learning module. A pulse generator (16), is also controlled by the deterministic module, and stimulates both the heart and the vagus (20).
