Computational Resources

An implantable cardiac pacemaker is used to modify and treat irregular heartbeats [1] and invented in 1958 [2]. Devices have no fixation or fixed to the heart wall. No fixation leads lay in the bottom of heart cavities, while fixed leads have tines (passive) or a helix screw (active) to attach to the heart. Lead geometries and material properties vary between companies, with geometric sizing based primarily on the internal mechanics of the lead. Finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and bench-top simulations are used to evaluate cardiac leads. These simulations analyze only one lead and struggle to compare and test variations in lead designs. Advanced computational resources can run many computer simulations of anatomical environments, however model complexity increases the time to run each simulation. To address this issue, we present a simplified parameterized design space for cardiac pacemaker leads in the right atrium. This information will be used to run multiple simulations of leads in blood flow, for visualization in a single virtual reality (VR) environment and allow the designer to iterate through many design variations (See Figure 1).

Vagus Nerve Stimulator

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in biomedical applications is a significant issue related to the user’s life safety, especially in implantable medical devices. Cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders are the main chronic disease worldwide that rely on implantable treatment devices such as cardiac pacemakers and vagus nerve stimulators. Both devices must have high EMC to avoid electromagnetic interference-induced health risks, even death during the treatment. Thus, it is important to understand how EMI can affect implantable devices and proactively protect devices from electromagnetic interference, providing reliable and safe implantable device therapy. To this end, this chapter comprehensively introduces the clinical issues and provides EMC requirements for the implantable device such as a cardiac pacemaker and vagus nerve stimulator. The significance of this chapter is to present the EMC important issues in medical engineering that can help to evolve reliable and secure implantable device development in the future.
