A system for treating the heart includes a cardiac harness associated with a cardiac rhythm management device which includes at least one electrode associated with the cardiac harness, epicardial leads attached directly to the heart, and a power source connected to the leads. The system may also include transvenous leads that are located within a chamber of the heart and attached to the power source. The cardiac harness applies a compressive force on the heart during diastole and systole, and the electrodes will deliver an electrical shock to the heart for defibrillation and/or can be used for pacing/sensing. The cardiac harness and electrodes are delivered and implanted on the heart b minimall invasive access.

L'invention porte sur un système de traitement cardiaque comprenant un harnais cardiaque associé à un dispositif de gestion du rythme cardiaque qui comprend au moins une électrode associée au harnais cardiaque, des conducteurs épicardiques reliés directement au coeur et une source d'énergie connectée aux conducteurs. Le système peut également comprendre des conducteurs transveineux qui sont situés dans une chambre du coeur reliée à la source d'énergie. Le harnais cardiaque applique une force de compression sur le coeur pendant la diastole et la systole, et les électrodes délivrent un choc électrique au coeur en vue d'une défibrillation et/ou peuvent être utilisées pour entraîner et capter les battements cardiaques. Le harnais cardiaque et les électrodes sont amenés et implantés dans le coeur par accès à invasion minimale.
