Biventricular Pacemaker

Schematic Biventricular Pacemaker Implantation Showing the Three Leds Placed in the Right Atrium and in the Left and Right Ventricles.

The CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) pacing device (also called a Biventricular pacemaker) is an electronic, battery-powered device that is surgically implanted under the skin. The device has 2 or 3 leads (wires) that are positioned in the heart to help the heart beat in a more balanced way. Biventricular pacemaker implantation resynchronizes the opening and closing of the two ventricles and allows them to work together effectively again.

Electric Analogue of the Cardiovascular System (CVS) and Biventricular (BiV) Pacemaker.

In the electric analogue was plotted the interactions between the left and right ventricular free wall, the atria and the septa. In CARDIOSIM© are implemented two different numerical models able to reproduce the behavior of the heart. The first one is described in Numerical Heart Model (1) section, the second one is shown in Numerical Heart Model (2) section. The CVS is represented using different circulatory compartments represented with a lumped parameter model (0-D model). In this configuration the CVS consists of: systemic and pulmonary arterial sections, systemic and pulmonary venous sections, coronary circulation and left and right heart. The ventricular, atrial and septal functions are implemented using a time-variable elastance model (see Numerical Heart Model (2) section).
