Implantable cardiac pacemakers.
Since implantable artificial cardiac pacemakers were first produced in Sweden and the United States in 1958, there has been continual improvement in manufacturing techniques, and reliability ofmodem apparatus has increased to the extent that pacing is generally accepted as the treatment of choice for a high proportion of patients with complete heart block. Nevertheless the use of pacemakers is ...
متن کاملRadioisotope Powered Cardiac Pacemakers.
Over 100,000 implantable cardiac pacemakers are currently being used to rehabilitate patients with heart block. The chemical batteries powering these pacemakers usually fail within a few years. A variety of nuclear batteries with the potential of providing long-lived (10-20 years) pacemaker power, are under development. This paper reviews the status of this development. Nuclear powered pacemake...

متن کاملExperience with Inductive Coupled Cardiac Pacemakers.
I n June, 1960, Ahrams, Hudson, and Lightwood' reported the use of the inductive coupled cardiac pacemaker for the treatment of three patients with complete heart block. T h e method is illustrated in FIGURE 1. A pulse generator is attached by a flexible lead to a n external primary coil that is strapped to the skin over the implanted secondary coil, the ends of which are the myocardial electro...
متن کاملLeadless Cardiac Pacemakers: Back to the Future.
Despite significant advances in battery longevity, lead performance, and programming features since the first implanted permanent pacemaker was developed, the basic design of cardiac pacemakers has remained relatively unchanged over the past 50 years. Because of inherent limitations in their design, conventional (transvenous) pacemakers are prone to multiple potential short- and long-term compl...
