Abstract: |
In an adult person, heart normally beats 60 to 100
times in resting state. But there are cases when the heart does not beat
rhythmically. This may happen ei-ther due to blockage or slow electrical
conduction sys-tem of the heart. Such conditions can be fatal and thus gives
rise to the need of deploying an artificial pacemaker in the patient to
maintain normal rhyth-mic activity of the heart. An
artificial pacemaker de-livers electrical impulses to the heart muscles
via elec-trode which is also called pacemaker electrode. A three-dimensional
computer simulation of a pacemaker elec-trode for time varying excitation, has been presented in this paper for modelling
the voltage and current distri-butions in human heart using Finite Element
Method. |
