Abstract

An implantable system can treat a myocardial condition, for example a myocardial infarction region. The system can selectively apply stimulating electrical signals to the myocardial infarction region. The region can respond to the stimulating electrical signals by undergoing favorable therapeutic change, for example an increase in thickness of the region. The system can monitor electrical impedance of the region as an indicator of degree of regional therapeutic change or of regional therapeutic state. The monitoring results can guide or control the application of stimulating electrical signals. For example, the application of stimulating electrical signals can stop once the monitor detects a sufficient degree of favorable therapeutic change and can resume if the monitor detects a threshold degree of therapeutic regression.
