A Microcalorimeter for Measuring Self-Discharge of Pacemakers and Pacemaker Power Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
The self-discharge hea t losses of cardiac pacemaker power ce ll s and pacemakers were in ves ti gated by microcalo rimetry. Results were ob ta ined with small alkaline, mercury and lithium-iodine batte ries under opencircuit and external load conditions to monitor their heat loss characteri st ics and to ga ther information on the self-discharge mechan ism. Results ob tai ned with "complete pacemakers" are also repo rted.

Erosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF PACEMAKER CLINIC IN THE FOLLOW-UP OF PATIENTS WITH PERMANENT PACEMAKERS
The Pacemaker Clinic at Shahid Rajai Cardiovascular Research Center first started operating in August 1992. In its first year of operation, 294 permanent pacemaker patients were studied, allowing an appraisal to be carried out of the clinic's effectiveness in diagnosing and treating early complications. In the final analysis, pacemaker complications were observed in 68 (23%) patients, of wh...
متن کاملThe Effect of a Self-Care Program on the Quality of Life of Patients with Permanent Pacemaker
Introduction. Today, the subject of patient education as well as education for their families is mainly about acceptance of self-care by patients. Therefore, proper conditions should be provided for patients to be able to take care of themselves. This study attempts to examine the effects of a self-care program on quality of life of patients having permanent pacemaker. Methods. A quasi-experim...
متن کاملThe influence of neutron contamination on pacemaker in photon beam radiotherapy by LINAC using the Monte Carlo method
In radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams (E > 10 MV) neutrons are generated mainly in LINACs head thorough (γ,n) interactions. These neutrons affect the shielding requirements in radiation therapy rooms. According to the AAPMTG-34 report, photon absorbed dose of 10Gy can cause permanent damage to the pacemaker and the dose of 2Gy can make minor changes in the functioning of the pac...
متن کاملBRIEF REVIEWS The Relationship among Cardiac Pacemakers Overdrive Suppression
THE RELATIONSHIP among cardiac pacemakers is characterized by the fact that usually one pacemaker is dominant and all the others are subsidiary. The sinoatrial node acts as the dominant pacemaker and all other pacemaker tissues are discharged by a conducted impulse before their diastolic depolarization can attain threshold. These pacemakers are called subsidiary to emphasize the fact that under...
