Depending on the configuration of the pacemaker and the clinical needs of the patient, as many as three leads may be used in a pacing system. Current pacemakers have a double, or bipolar, electrode attached to the end of each lead. The electrodes deliver an electrical charge to the heart ...
Electro-medical implant e.g. cardiac pacemaker, for treatment of human heart, has generator with coil and magnet that are movably arranged such that relative movement between coil and magnet causes induction of voltage and/or currentThe implant has an electrical energy generator (10) arranged in...
1. Anything that influences the rate and rhythm of occurrence of an activity or process. 2. In cardiology, a specialized cell or group of cells that automatically generates impulses that spread to other regions of the heart. The normal cardiac pacemaker is the sinoatrial node, a group of cell...
During pacemaker surgery, which takes a few hours, one or three wires with sensors called electrodes are placed in different chambers of the heart. They are connected with a computerized generator which is connected to the battery. The generator and the battery are placed in the box and slipped...

This means that the pacemaker will not track atrial rates above 100 bpm and could lead to 2:1 block at rates of at least 100 bpm in patients with heart block. In some pacemakers, the upper tracking rate can be programmed independently from the upper rate based on rate response. In acute...
“They feel it’s a part of them that you’ve taken.” Getting digital Digital twins are well established in other realms of engineering; for example, they have long been used to model machinery and infrastructure. The term may have become a marketing buzzword lately, but for those ...
Heart failure (HF) is the complex condition resulting from a structural and/or functional inability of the heart to supply the normal cardiac output to meet metabolic needs. In HF, impaired ventricular filling or ejection of blood leads to fatigue, dyspnea, and fluid retention or edema. Echocard...
In 1956, John McCarthy organized the Dartmouth Conference, where he coined the term “Artificial Intelligence.“ This event marked the beginning of the modern AI era. In the 1960 and 1970 s, AI research focused on rule-based and expert systems. However, this approach was limited by the ...
pattern in the electricity of the heart that your doctor can diagnose. If your AFib comes and goes, you may need to wear a continuous heart monitor (Holter monitor) to diagnose the abnormal rhythm. In addition, some heart monitors may be purchased over-the-counter for about 50 - 100 ...
