Abstract

UN MARCAPASOS DE VELOCIDAD ADAPTABLE DISEÑADO PARA PROPORCIONAR CAMBIOS EN UNA DEMANDA METABOLICA DE PACIENTE UTILIZA FRACCION DE EYECCION VENTRICULAR (EF) COMO EL PARAMETRO DE CONTROL DE VELOCIDAD. LA FRACCION DE EYECCION SE MIDE DETECTANDO LA IMPEDANCIA INTRACARDIACA EN ENDODIASTOLE Y ENDOSISTOLE Y A CONTINUACION UTILIZANDO ESTAS MEDIDAS PARA CALCULAR EL VOLUMEN DE IMPULSO (SV). LA FRACCION DE EYECCION ES EL VOLUMEN DE IMPULSO DIVIDIDO POR EL VOLUMEN ENDODIASTOLICO. ESTE VALOR CALCULADO DE EF ES PROCESADO POR EL MARCAPASOS PARA DETERMINAR EL INTERVALO DE ESCAPE (VELOCIDAD DE PASO) A TRAVES DE UN ALGORITMO DE CONVERSION SENCILLO.
