where
= 5*0.16*10^-6[1200/2.2]
= 0.437 milli sec
Thus this PM can delivers the pulse with period T=0.8589
sec and pulse duration TD = 0.437 milli sec
Using a fixed rate pacemaker, the heart rate
cannot be increased to match greater
physical effort
Stimulation with a fixed impulse frequency
more.
This type pacemakers are used for patient with short time
AV block or bundle block, usually this type does not
compete with the normal heart activity
Separate sensing electrode is not needed, since a single
electrode placed at the right ventricle both sense the R-
wave and delivers the stimulation
The R-wave from the atrial generated ventricular
contraction triggers the pacemaker which provides an
impulse falling in the lower part of the normal QRS complex
If R-wave from the atrial generated ventricular contraction
absent , then the pacemaker provides impulse at the
frequeny of 70 impulse/min.
Using the sensing electrode, the heart rate is detected
and it is given to the timing circuit in the pacemaker, if
the detected rate of the heart is below a certain min
level, the fixed rate pacemaker is turned on to pace the
heart
The lead used to detect the R wave is now used to
stimulate the heart, if a natural contraction occurs, the
PM timing circuit is reset so that it will time its next
pulse to detect heart beat
Suppose the pacemaker may detect the noise and
interpret as its ventricular excitation, but it is
eliminated by the incorporation of refractory period
circuit
In heart blocks P wave occurs randomly, by using a high
pass filter with lower cut off frequency at 20 Hz will
eliminates the P wave
To arrest the ventricular fibrillation, this
circuit can be used
The power consumption is reduced and there
