Analýza efektivity kardiostimulace srdce nábojem a energií

Abstract

The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of cardiac pacing and its effectiveness. The effectiveness of cardiac pacing in this bachelor thesis is mainly assessed from the viewpoint of electrical charge and energy of pacing pulse. At the moment, great emphasis is placed on energy saving pacemakers, but this saving must not be at the expense of heart stimulation. In this work, testing of external pacemakers in the laboratory was performed. The influence of impedance on the stimulation pulse and also the influence of pulse width on the final charge and energy were tested. Based on the mathematical procedures used to process the measurement data, software was designed. The software can be used to quick and accurate assess the quality of the pacing pulse.
