Description
The first implantable cardiac pacing system was developed in 1958. Since that time, the exemplary collaboration betwen medicine and engineering has developed into an extremely successful therapy. The nature of the technical task of pacemaker development is based upon the diverse components of physiology, electronics, physics, electrochemistry, and the material sciences. This book highlights many of the recent and most important technological advances and concepts in cardiac electrotherapy concerning implementing different approaches to adapting the stimulation rate from a systems engineering standpoint to meet cardiovascular requirements. The information presented here is not generally found in conventional journals and textbooks and, therefore, may contribute to the interdisciplinary collaboration between biomedical engineering and the medical profession.
