Cardiac Rhythm Devices: An outlook
Cardiac
Devices are meant for controlling irregular heartbeats in
patients with heart rhythm disorders. These irregularities
are caused by noise in the heart’s electrical system, which signals the heart
to contract and pump blood throughout the body.
Types of Cardiac Devices:
- Pacemaker
- Biventricular
Pacemaker
- Implantable
Cardioverter Defibrillator
- Implantable
Cardiac Loop Recorder
- Left
Ventricular Assist Device
-
Advantages:
- Eliminate
the symptoms of bradycardia
Disadvantages:
- Infection
at the surgical site
- Sensitivity
to the device material
- Failure
to deliver therapy when it is needed
- Limitations
with respect to magnetic and electromagnetic fields
- Limitations
with electric or gas-powered appliances
