Wireless Channel Modeling for Leadless Cardiac Pacemaker: Effects ofVentricular Blood Volume
Abstract:
In this paper, the effects of ventricular blood volume change on the cardiac wireless channel modeling at 2.4 GHz are presented for future multi-node leadless capsule pacemakers. Numerical electromagnetic simulations are implemented in the anatomical model of human body and experiments are done in a homogeneous liquid phantom. The results show that the coupling between the capsule antennas decreases with increasing blood volume, as the blood is a highly attenuating medium. The received power varies by 3.1 dB for the implant-to-implant link inside the heart and varies by 1.3 dB for the heart implant to sub-cutaneous implant, during the diastole and systole cycle. The findings are useful to develop an intra-body communication between leadless pacemakers providing timing information for synchronized pacing in a multi-chamber leadless pacemaker system.
