Realizace řízeného kardiostimulátoru

Abstract

The thesis deals with realization of a pacemaker driven by P wave using resources of National Instruments. Specifically, with help of a hardware device NI Elvis II+ and compatible program LabView. There is a theoretical and a practical part of the thesis. The theoretical part is focused on cardiac electrophysiology, the possible failures of transmission of the action potential by heart and ways of technical compensation for those failures. It also deals with reasons for use of pacemakers, their types and principles of operation focused on the specific pacemaker driven by P wave. The practical part describes a method of realization of the pacemaker. Here are introduced principles of operation of the hardware device and of the program code. The result of the practical part is a simulation of the programmed stimulator.
