Design of Cardiac Pacemakers (Tab-IEEE Press Book Series-Design and Applications) by John G. Webster

The result of systematic research of the most recent patents, this volume explicates the design and detailed functioning of the cardiac pacemaker in an accessible form for biomedical and electrical engineers. It explains the logic and circuit design fundamentals of pacemakers as well as their relation to the electrical conduction system of the heart, the types of irregular rhythms that may occur, and how a pacemaker can correct abnormalities. Includes pacemaker flow and timing diagrams, and a glossary of terms. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
