Abstract

A method and apparatus for treating gastric arrhythmia. The apparatus features an implantable pulse generator which may be coupled to the gastric system through one or more medical electrical leads. In the preferred embodiment the leads couple to the circular muscle layer of the stomach. The apparatus further features a sensor to sense slow waves and determines whether the slow waves are occurring in an irregular or unstable manner. The apparatus further permits such slow waves to be diagnosed as either occurring in a bradygastria or tachygastria and provides the appropriate electrical stimulation in response. Thus the present invention diagnoses and treats irregular gastric rhythm such as bradygastria and tachygastria.
