Medical Device for Electrical Cardiac Stimulation

The device is a pacemaker for cardiac electrical stimulation without battery, implantable and miniaturized. The device is completely passive and can perform all the functions of the pacemakers and the electrocatheters, that is in case of alterations of normal cardiac physiology.

The invention has the great advantage of eliminating or reducing the complications of traditional devices, with a significant impact on the quality of life of patients who suffered from arrhythmic diseases or heart failure.

The cardiac stimulation pacemaker currently on the market have problems and complications, both short and long term, which can cause morbidity and mortality.

The features of current devices that create limitations and problems are related to their rechargeable battery that must be replaced periodically. Furthermore, they are bulky, sensitive to electromagnetic fields, expensive and they mean a high risk of infections.

The device is applicable in surgery of heart diseases with alterations in the conduction system of electrical impulses. It ensures the proper functioning of the heart muscle, and it is suitable for both endocardial and epicardial application.

The medical device proposed is completely passive (without battery) and free of electrocatheters, as well as structurally simpler and cheaper than similar devices.
The miniaturized device provides a very small footprint, in addition to ease in the surgical placement and the better compliance of patient.
Thanks to its technical characteristics, the device is able to avoid any disturbances and abnormalities in the electrical conduction between the atrium and the ventricle, also involving a reduction in the maintenance surgeries and a lower risk of infections and complications.
