Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Implantable cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators require accurate arrhythmia classification for optimal function.
  • Current devices may benefit from enhanced hemodynamic sensing capabilities.
  • Transcardiac impedance is explored as a potential method for hemodynamic sensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utility of transcardiac impedance for hemodynamic sensing in the context of arrhythmia management.
  • To evaluate the correlation between transcardiac impedance modulations and established hemodynamic measures.
  • To determine if transcardiac impedance can differentiate varying levels of hemodynamic compromise.

Main Methods:

  • Induction of various arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, electro-mechanical dissociation) and pacing rates in seven dogs.
