Apparatus and an associated method are provided for detecting a cardiac arrhythmia and delivering cardioversion therapy after first delivering a prepulse inhibition stimulus directly to the central nervous system for inhibiting cardioversion pain perceived by the patient. Circuitry for controlling and delivering a prepulse stimulus may be included in the cardioverting device or in a separate stimulating device that is in communication with the cardioverting device. The prepulse stimulus is delivered directly to the spinal cord via a spinal cord lead at a predetermined time interval prior to cardioversion shock delivery.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé associé permettant de détecter une arythmie cardiaque et d'administrer une cardioversion après administration préalable d'un stimulus d'inhibition par pré-impulsion directement au système nerveux central afin d'inhiber la douleur de la cardioversion ressentie par le patient. Un ensemble de circuits permettant de réguler et d'administrer un stimulus de pré-impulsion peut être inclus dans le dispositif de cardioversion ou dans un dispositif de stimulation séparé en communication avec le dispositif de cardioversion. Le stimulus de pré-impulsion est administré directement à la moelle épinière par l'intermédiaire d'un fil dans la moelle épinière à un intervalle temporel prédéterminé avant l'administration du choc de cardioversion.
