Leadless pacemakers: leading us into the future?
Since the first permanent pacemaker implant, almost 60 years ago, there has been continued progress and evolution of these devices. The technology has advanced on many fronts, with longer battery lives, smaller sized generators, with an intelligent ‘adaptive functionality’ closely mimicking the human physiology. However, contemporary implant technology has been disadvantaged by the need for a s...
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...
متن کاملPermanently Implanted Transvenous Pacemakers
Three patients with complete heart block had a high resistance to electrical stimulation of the endocardium through transvenous pacemaker systems. One patient died; one needed reoperation for implantation of epicardial electrodes; and the third required a generator of higher current. The present enthusiasm for permanent transvenous implantation of pacemakers must be tempered somewhat by the kno...
متن کاملClinical testing of implanted pacemakers.
The function of implanted pacemakers was assessed at a special pacemaker clinic at intervals of three to six months. Measurements of the basic discharge rate of the pacemaker were made and the waveform was recovered from skin electrodes and displayed on an oscilloscope screen. The impulse was photographed from the screen and subsequent waveform analysis was carried out. Reproducible results wer...
متن کاملDetection of faults in implanted cardiac pacemakers.
Since 1958, totally implantable pacemakers have been used to stimulate the hearts of patients suffering from chronic heart block. The evidence that such patients have a reduced mortality rate in comparison with unpaced patients (Sowton, 1967) and the ability to return to a normal life have meant that pacemaker implantation for heart block is now accepted practice. There have been increasing num...
