Presentation Transcript

  1. Low Voltage Technology Stimulation and Sensing

  2. Pacing

  3. Pacemaker pulse Pulse-amplitude(Volt) Pulse width (ms)

  4. To stimulate the heart...

  5. Strength Duration Curve pulse amplitude [Volts] 2.0 1.0 pulse width [ms] 0 0.5 1.0 1.5

  6. Strength Duration Curve Rheobase the minimum pulse amplitude at which capture results at an infinitely wide pulse duration (1.0 ms) Chronaxie the pulse duration for which the pulse amplitude is twice the rheobase (0.4 -0.6 ms)

  7. 2 x Rheobase Rheobase Chronaxie Strength Duration Curve pulse amplitude [Volts] 2.0 1.0 pulse width [ms] 0 0.5 1.0 1.5

  8. Fibrous tissue Fibrous tissue around the lead tip resulting in high threshold.(Low current density)

  9. Classic Threshold Development over Time Threshold (Volts) Output Threshold 2 weeks 2-3 months Time Implantation

  10. Today’s Threshold Development over Time Threshold (Volts) Output Threshold 2 weeks 2-3 months Time Implantation
