Update in Cardiac Pacing. [PDF]
Arrhythm Electrophysiol Rev, 2019 Initial efforts to artificially stimulate the heart were borne out of a necessity to prevent catastrophic bradycardic events. The initial pacemaker systems were large, bulky external devices. However, advancements in technology allowed for the development of internally powered, fully implantable devices.

Termination of Reentry in an Inhomogeneous Ring of Model Cardiac Cells [PDF]
Phys Rev E 66, 061903 (2002), 2002 Reentrant waves propagating in a ring or annulus of excitable media model is the basic mechanism underlying a major class of irregular cardiac rhythms known as anatomical reentry. Such reentrant waves are terminated by rapid electrical stimulation (pacing) from an implantable device.

Indeterminacy of Spatiotemporal Cardiac Alternans [PDF]
, 2007 Cardiac alternans, a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential duration (at the cellular level) or in ECG morphology (at the whole heart level), is a marker of ventricular fibrillation, a fatal heart rhythm that kills hundreds of thousands of people in the US each year.

Cardiac pacing in severe recurrent reflex syncope and tilt-induced asystole. [PDF]
Eur Heart J, 2021 Aim The benefit of cardiac pacing in patients with severe recurrent reflex syncope and asystole induced by tilt testing has not been established. The usefulness of tilt-table test to select candidates for cardiac pacing is controversial.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979 The basic electrophysiology of temporary and permanent cardiac pacing is reviewed, as are the indications, the types of pacing systems, and the methods of implantation. Recent developments in power sources and leads are described. The mercury-zinc battery is now obsolete and is being replaced by lithium, rechargeable, and isotopic power systems.

Dynamics of conduction blocks in a model of paced cardiac tissue [PDF]
, 2005 We study numerically the dynamics of conduction blocks using a detailed electrophysiological model. We find that this dynamics depends critically on the size of the paced region. Small pacing regions lead to stationary conduction blocks while larger pacing regions can lead to conduction blocks that travel periodically towards the pacing region. We show

An intracardiac electrogram model to bridge virtual hearts and implantable cardiac devices [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Virtual heart models have been proposed to enhance the safety of implantable cardiac devices through closed loop validation. To communicate with a virtual heart, devices have been driven by cardiac signals at specific sites. As a result, only the action potentials of these sites are sensed.
