Conversion of Cardiac Contractions into Electrical Energy Using an Epicardial Wireless Pacemaker

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

The operating principles of an epicardial pacemaker (EPM) with microelectromechanical system (MEMS) converter in patients with cardiovascular pathology are described. Biological tests of this device in a patient with a rhythm abnormality after heart surgery are described in detail. Correlation analysis of all the input parameters of the device was run to obtain high power for MEMS output parameters to ensure effective operation of the pacemaker.
